Plasma Appearance of Xanthohumol in Healthy Adults

The aim of this study is to investigate the rate and extend of the plasma appearance of native Xanthohumol and Xanthohumol integrated into micelles in healthy men and women. Therefore, participants consume capsules with either 86 or 172 mg of native Xanthohumol or Xanthohumol integrated into micelles. In an observation period of 24 hours, Xanthohumol and its major metabolites are analyzed in plasma.

About this study

In a crossover design, 6 healthy young men and 6 healthy young women participate in 4 Xanthohumol interventions with either 86 or 172 mg native or micellar solubilized Xanthohumol. During an observation period of 24 hours, Xanthohumol and its major metabolites Isoxanthohumol, 8- and 6-Prenylnaringenin are analyzed in plasma. Each intervention will be separated by a wash-out period of 14 days. Typical plasmakinetic analyses (Cmax, tmax, AUC, t1/2, bioavailability) will be conducted.
