Abstract

Introduction: Most patients with metabolic syndrome present non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFD). High consumption of fruit and vegetable has been related to a lower incidence of chronic diseases. Of note, among vegetables, brassicaceae family is at the first place. Therapeutic strategies to treat inflammatory disease as well as cancer are evolving and includes biologically active phytocompounds. A sulfur-containing glucosinolate (GLS) secondary plant compounds exclusively present in Brassicaceae- and their breakdown products including isothiocyanates (NCS) have shown to possess important anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic property. The aim of this work was the evaluation of the effects of daily consumption of E. sativa defatted seed meal enriched bakery products on glucose and lipid metabolism and on systemic markers of inflammation.

Material and Methods: After an 8-week run-in period, patients were asked for 4 weeks to maintain their usual diet replacing 150 gr. of bakery products with the same number of enriched bakery product. Fasting glucose and insulin, HOMA-r, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride, ALT, Gamma-GT, high sensitivity C reactive protein, Interleukin-6, Interleukin-8 and TNF-α were compared before and after the study period.

Results: HOMA-r showed a statistically significant reduction after 4 weeks period as well as cholesterol ratio 3.8 ± 1.0 vs. 3.6 ± 1.0 (P = 0.03). Among markers of inflammation, high sensitivity CRP showed a statistically significant reduction (-36.8%) from 1.4 (0.4 - 10.4) to 0.9 (0.4 - 8.7) mg/dl (P = 0.02) as well as TNF-α 8.0 ± 3.0 vs. 7.1 ± 2.7 pg/ml (- 11.3%; P < 0.001). Despite a mild ALT reduction (- 7.0%), Gamma-GT showed a - 21.0% decrease from 20.0 ± 6.6 to 15.8 ± 6.4 U/L (P < 0.001). IL-6 and IL-8 were substantially unmodified.

Conclusion: as cracker can improve glucose and lipids metabolism in parallel with a significant improvement of serum Bakery products enriched with Eruca sativa Mill defatted seed meal markers of inflammation and therefore being of interest for patients affected by inflammatory diseases.
