| Description | Using a combination of a human dietary intervention in elderly participants and in vitro models of the ageing gut, we have shown the following: 1. Approximately doubling the total intake of plant polyphenols by elderly participants living in a care home setting caused a significant reduction in gut leakiness, where a 'leaky gut' is considered detrimental as it can increase the risk that bacteria and other microorganisms that normally reside in the gut can get past the gut barrier, enter the blood stream and cause inflammation. The additional polyphenols came from polyphenol-rich foods and beverages such as tea, dark chocolate, apples, berries, pomegranate juice and orange juice. 2. That it is possible to substantially increase the consumption of polyphenols by a very elderly population who often have health issues that can make this challenging. However, by careful consideration of the types of polyphenol-rich foods and the form that they are provided, we demonstrated that this can be achieved 3. We have shown in a model of ageing that supplementing a standard polyphenol-free diet with a mixture of polyphenols caused significant improvements in gut barrier function compared to the non-supplemented diet in very old mice but not in younger mice. 4. We have developed some evidence that the polyphenol-induced changes in gut barrier function may be brought about by their beneficial effects on inflammation. This data supports a plausible mechanism. |
| Exploitation Route | Consumers can choose to increase their consumption of polyphenol-rich foods and beverages on the basis that there are a number of reported health benefits, including now improved gut barrier function in the elderly. Organisations involved in caring for the elderly can review their meal menus and consider increasing the levels of polyphenols in the foods they provide and hence increase the consumption of polyphenols by their customers / patients. Policy makers could take note of this newly demonstrated benefit of a polypheniol-rich diet and consider changing their advice to particular sub-groups of the population, i.e. the elderly. |

| PI Contribution | We used synthetic organic chemistry routes to make phase-2 conjugates of various dietary flavonoids and phenolic acids and supplied these to various collaborators for testing of biological activity. These compounds are not available commercially and for many of them they are unique to our lab. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Partners have used these physiologically relevant metabolites to test their biological activity using in vitro models such as cultured mammalian cell models, etc...

| PI Contribution | We synthesised and purified a series of polyphenol metabolites that are found in human peripheral blood and urine including phase-2 conjugates of food polyphenols and gut microbiota-derived catabolites and their phase-2 conjugates. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The University of Barcelona team have been using these compounds to identify peaks appearing in LC-MS traces and to allow accurate quantification. |
| Impact | The method is in use, publications will start to appear during 2018 and beyond. |
