Raisins and walking alter appetite hormones and plasma lipids by modifications in lipoprotein metabolism and up regulation of the low density lipoprotein receptor
Metabolism-clinical and Experimental, 2009Co-Authors: Michael J Puglisi, Gisella Mutungi, Pierre J Brun, Mary M Mcgrane, Cherise C Labonte, Jeff S Volek, Maria Luz FernandezAbstract:Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of consuming Raisins, increasing steps walked, or a combination of these interventions on lipoprotein metabolism and appetite hormones by assessing plasma apolipoprotein concentrations, cholesterol ester transfer protein activity, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor messenger RNA (mRNA) abundance, and plasma ghrelin and leptin concentrations. Thirty-four subjects (17 men and 17 postmenopausal women) were matched for weight and sex and randomly assigned to consume 1 cup Raisins per day (RAISIN), increase the amount of steps walked per day (WALK), or a combination of both interventions (RAISIN + WALK). The subjects completed a 2-week run-in period, followed by a 6-week intervention. Ribonucleic acid was extracted from mononuclear cells, and LDL receptor mRNA abundance was quantified by use of reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Plasma apolipoproteins were measured by Luminex (Austin, TX) technology. Apoproteins A-1, B, C-II, and E and cholesterol ester transfer protein activity were not altered for any of the groups. In contrast, apolipoprotein C-III was significantly decreased by 12.3% only in the WALK group ( P P P = .026). Plasma concentrations increased for RAISIN and RAISIN + WALK. Similarly, plasma ghrelin concentrations were elevated postintervention for both groups consuming Raisins ( P

In contrast, apolipoprotein C-III was significantly decreased by 12.3% only in the WALK group (P < .05). Low-density lipoprotein receptor mRNA abundance was increased for all groups after the intervention (P < .001). There was a significant group effect for plasma leptin (P = .026). Plasma concentrations increased for RAISIN and RAISIN + WALK. Similarly, plasma ghrelin concentrations were elevated postintervention for both groups consuming Raisins (P < .05). These data suggest that walking and raisin consumption decrease plasma LDL cholesterol by up-regulating the LDL receptor and that raisin consumption may reduce hunger and affect dietary intake by altering hormones influencing satiety.

Raisins and additional walking have distinct effects on plasma lipids and inflammatory cytokines
Lipids in Health and Disease, 2008Co-Authors: Michael J Puglisi, Jeff S Volek, Ushma Vaishnav, Sudeep Shrestha, Moises Torresgonzalez, Richard J Wood, Maria Luz FernandezAbstract:Background: Raisins are a significant source of dietary fiber and polyphenols, which may reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk by affecting lipoprotein metabolism and inflammation. Walking represents a low intensity exercise intervention that may also reduce CVD risk. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of consuming Raisins, increasing steps walked, or a combination of these interventions on blood pressure, plasma lipids, glucose, insulin and inflammatory cytokines. Results: Thirty-four men and postmenopausal women were matched for weight and gender and randomly assigned to consume 1 cup Raisins/d (RAISIN), increase the amount of steps walked/d (WALK) or a combination of both interventions (Raisins + WALK). The subjects completed a 2 wk run-in period, followed by a 6 wk intervention. Systolic blood pressure was reduced for all subjects (P = 0.008). Plasma total cholesterol was decreased by 9.4% for all subjects (P < 0.005), which was explained by a 13.7% reduction in plasma LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) (P < 0.001). Plasma triglycerides (TG) concentrations were decreased by 19.5% for WALK (P < 0.05 for group effect). Plasma TNF-α was decreased from 3.5 ng/L to 2.1 ng/L for RAISIN (P < 0.025 for time and group × time effect). All subjects had a reduction in plasma sICAM-1 (P < 0.01). Conclusion: This research shows that simple lifestyle modifications such as adding Raisins to the diet or increasing steps walked have distinct beneficial effects on CVD risk.

corinthian Raisins vitis vinifera l var apyrena antioxidant and sugar content as affected by the drying process a 3 year study
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2019Co-Authors: Eirini A Panagopoulou, Antonia Chiou, Eirini K Nikolidaki, Margarita Christea, Vaios T KarathanosAbstract:Background: Corinthian Raisins or Corinthian currants are dried grape products that account for approximately 3% of dried vine fruit production worldwide. Greece is the major Corinthian raisin producer. In this study Corinthian Raisins were produced by applying two traditional drying methods, i.e. sun and shade drying. The drying process effect on the raisin phytochemical and sugar content was assessed; samples obtained over three consecutive crops were evaluated to prevail over climatic condition variations.; Results: Total phenolic, flavanol, and anthocyanin content were higher in Corinthian Raisins dried under shade as compared with the sun-dried ones; individual anthocyanidin-3-O-glucosides were also qualitatively and quantitatively higher under shade drying in most cases. Differences were observed in Corinthian raisin phytochemical content among the crop years evaluated. The drying process applied did not discriminatively affect the sugar content of Corinthian raisin.; Conclusion: Drying under shade was proven superior to sun drying with respect to Corinthian raisin phytochemicals and could be considered as an appealing drying method for the production of dried Raisins and perhaps other dried fruits. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.; © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

absorption and bioavailability of antioxidant phytochemicals and increase of serum oxidation resistance in healthy subjects following supplementation with Raisins
Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, 2013Co-Authors: Panagiotis T. Kanellos, Andriana C. Kaliora, Aristea Gioxari, G O Christopoulou, Nikolaos Kalogeropoulos, Vaios T KarathanosAbstract:The aim of this study was to examine the postprandial impact of raisin supplementation in serum resistance to oxidation of healthy subjects, to quantify the bioavailable phenolic compounds and oleanolic acid. The content of phytochemicals in Raisins was determined by GC-MS. Fifteen healthy volunteers who consumed 144 g of Raisins were subjected to blood collection at time 0 and 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after consumption. Blood samples were used for the quantification of (a) serum oxidizability (b) plasma total polyphenol content and (c) phenolic compounds and oleanolic acid by applying GC–MS analysis. A total of 25 phytochemicals were identified and quantified in Raisins, while the triterpenoid oleanolic acid was present at the highest concentration. The peak of plasma total phenolics and serum oxidation resistance appeared 1 h after raisin supplementation (p < 0.05) and correlated strongly with each other. Seventeen phytochemicals (16 phenolics and oleanolic acid) were clearly identified and quantified in volunteers’ plasma. Each compound followed different kinetics, however 13 out of 17 peaked in plasma also 1 h after supplementation. The results indicate that Raisins influence antioxidant potential in vivo, while the contained phytochemicals are bioavailable.

A Study of Glycemic Response to Corinthian Raisins in Healthy Subjects and in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients
Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, 2013Co-Authors: Panagiotis T. Kanellos, Andriana C. Kaliora, Christos Liaskos, Nikolaos K. Tentolouris, Despina Perrea, Vaios T KarathanosAbstract:This study was designed to evaluate the metabolic response to Corinthian Raisins in healthy and in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Healthy subjects ( n = 15) and diabetic patients ( n = 15) received 74 g Raisins or 50 g glucose as reference food. Blood samples were collected at time 0 (before the consumption) and 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 min after raisin or glucose consumption. There was no significant difference in baseline glucose and insulin between Raisins and reference in both groups. The difference at glucose peaks between Raisins and reference was significant in healthy and in diabetics. Glycemic and insulinemic responses were decreased after raisin consumption compared to reference. An estimate of the glycemic index would be 66.3 ± 3.4.
