CONCLUSIONS• This profile showed that both hydroxybenzoic acids

(PCA and VA) are most bioavailable in plasma 1-2 h post MC consumption, whilst other hydroxycinnamic acid (CHL) were not present in plasma.

• The combination of PCA and VA increased cell migration of VSMC.

• These data may be useful for the design and interpretation of intervention studies investigating the health effects of MC polyphenols.

• A diet rich in plant foods is inversely correlated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

• The main non–flavonoid polyphenols of dietary significance are phenolic acids. Tart Montmorency cherries (MC) are a functional food of growing interest and have been shown to be high in numerous phytonutrients(1)

• Despite previous studies in cell culture and animal models, where cherry extracts have been shown to exert a range of cardio-protective effects, there has been only one study illustrating the pharmaco-kinetics of tart cherry phytochemicals and concurrent evidence of a biologic effect(2).

• Aim: to examine 1) the time-course of selected phenolic compounds following ingestion of MC 2) their subsequent influence on cell behaviour in vitro.

• Twelve healthy males (mean ± SD age, stature, mass and BMI was 26 ± 3 years, 178.5 ± 7.6 cm, 85.2 ± 11.7 kg and 26.7 ± 3.2 kg/m2, respectively) volunteered to participate.

• Participants were randomly assigned to either a high (60 mL) or low (30 mL) MC group in a double blind, crossover design.

• Venous blood samples were taken 0 and 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 h post consumption. Plasma concentrations of protocatechuic (PCA), vanillic (VA) and chlorogenic acid (CHL) were analysed by reversed – phase high performance liquid chromatography with diode array and mass spectrometry detection.

• Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration was also assessed in vitro.

• Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
