Popis: Background: Consumption of phytochemical-rich fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower risk of oral cancer and protection against oxidative stress-mediated damage from reactive oxygen species (ROS). We proposed that antioxidant components in black raspberries (BRBs) could “scavenge” ROS and diminish oxidative stress burden. We tested the hypothesis that a long-term, low-dose administration of BRBs to a population of disease-free oral cancer survivors is both (i) achievable and (ii) will result in the attenuation of oxidative DNA damage. Methods: Participants were assigned to consume 0, 4, or 8 gms of BRBs daily for 6 months and provided self-report logbooks of adherence. Mass spectrometry (MS) of urine for dimethyl ellagic acid (DMEA) at baseline, 10, and 20 wks was utilized as a biomarker of adherence. ELISA of urine was used to measure 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). A logistic regression model was used to determine factors associated with willingness to continue on the regimen once enrolled. Results: 112 participants were enrolled and assigned to a BRB regimen. 81 participants (72%) provided self-reported adherence logbooks. Adherence at wks 2, 10 and 20 was 92% (n=77), 85% (n=55), and 86% (n=44) respectively. The regimen was well tolerated with no significant adverse events. MS/MS measurements of DMEA was 10 fold higher (p Conclusions: A food-based prevention strategy utilizing BRBs in oral cancer survivors is safe and feasible. Compliance for those staying on regimen was high and factors identified that influenced continued participation included: having insurance, travel distance, having had adjuvant therapy, and tobacco use. While the number of active participants declined, those completing the intervention maintained outstanding levels of adherence (>85%). Biomarkers of adherence were identified as an objective means of validating self-reported adherence. Moreover, 8-OHdG levels were reduced, providing a potentially useful biomarker of BRB efficacy.
