Background: Alkalization of young adults mediated by an administration of mineral salt leads to a significant decrease of glucocorticoid (GC) metabolite excretion parameters. However, it is unclear, if already an alkaline diet, characterized by an increased fruit and vegetable (f&v) consumption, and accompanied by an average protein intake, causes a decrease of GC excretion.Methods: In a subsample (n= 80) of the DONALD study, 6–10 year-old healthy children were studied and their f&v consumption was assessed by a 3-day dietary record. Protein intake was determined by measurement of the biomarker total nitrogen and potentially bioactive free GCs were determined by tandem mass spectrometric analysis of urinary free cortisol (UFF) and urinary free cortisone (UFE) in 24-h urine. Based on the f&v consumption, the children were subdivided into two groups (n= 40), one with high (f&v_h) and one with low (f&v_l) fruit and vegetable intake. To ensure a comparable protein intake, only those children were included with a total 24-h nitrogen excretion of 380–540 mmol/m2/day. Daily acid load was assessed by measurement of 24-h renal net acid excretion (NAE). Differences of GC excretion between the two f&v groups were analysed by ANCOVA (adjusted for sex, body surface area, urinary volume, and total nitrogen).Results: f&v consumption and NAE (medians: 602 vs. 158 g/day and 22 vs. 41 mEq/day respectively, P< 0.0001) differed distinctly within f&v_h and f&v_l. Additionally, f&v_h showed a trend for a lower excretion of ΣUFF+ UFE and free cortisone UFE compared to f&v_l (ANCOVA; p≤ 0.1).Conclusions: These first preliminary results indicate that an increased intake of f&v may be paralleled by a decrease of potentially bioactive free GCs (ΣUFF+ UFE). Based on a larger subsample potential confounders will be tested and the–then–in more detail examined relationship between f&v consumption and GCs will be presented.
