- Watercress extracts Watercress samples were snap frozen in liquid N 2 before being ground to a fine powder using a pestle and mortar. Ground watercress (1 g) was decanted into a QIAshredder homogeniser (Qiagen, Crawley, UK), and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. Samples were centrifuged at 16 000 g for 6 min to collect the crude watercress extract. Analysis of 4E binding protein 1 phosphorylation The analysis of 4E-BP1 phosphorylation was done by single cell flow cytometry.

- Conclusion The present study suggests that dietary watercress intervention provides effective protection against exercise-induced oxidative stress, with no additional benefits gained from long-term watercress consumption. The prophylactic effect of watercress may be due in part to the high concentration of antioxidants or other cytoprotective compounds.

- The watercress was homogenized with deionized water (20 g fresh leaves plus upper stem with 60 ml water) and 5 ml homogenate were given by gastric intubation to sixteen rats. Extrinsically labelled portions of the watercress were prepared in the same way by adding the isotope to unlabelled watercress homogenate just before intubation.

- The contribution of watercress and spinach to the mean intake of lutein was 20 YO. Fruits only contributed about 6 % to lutein intake. Tomatoes contributed on average about 86% of lycopene intake. The average contribution of carrots to /3-carotene intake throughout the year was 71 YO. The fruit items contributed only about 3 ?LO (see Table 3).

- Using CZ pharmacokinetics, we have shown that in healthy subjects CYP2E1 activity is decreased by watercress (Nasturtium officinale) ingestion (Leclercqet al. 1998a). In contrast, CYP2E1 activity has been found to be elevated in obesity (O’Sheaet al. 1994), uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (Song et al. 1990), and in clinical situations associated with liver steatosis.

- Incubation of human faeces with cooked watercress (in which plant myrosinase had been denatured) in vitro also yielded isothiocyanates 19 . Bacteria may hydrolyse glucosinolates consumed in a cooked vegetable meal and release hydrolysis products directly into the lumen of the colon.

- Biotin contents ranged from < 0.1 pg/Ioo g in beetroot, turnip and swede to nearly 0-5 pg/Ioo g in brussels sprouts, parsley, watercress and curly kale, and 1.9pgl100 g in cauliflower. 5. In nuts, amounts of nicotinic acid varied from 200pg/100 g in chestnuts to 600 pgl I 00 g in hazel and I 600 pg/ I 00 g in almond ; 5ooo pg/I oo g were found in sun- flower seeds.

- Mixture A corre- sponds to fermentation of a low fermentable fibre such as that found in watercress (Beyer-Sehlmeyer et al. 2003). Mixture B resembled the relative SCFA contents after fermentation of inulin, kale or soya, whereas the composition of mixture C resembled the SCFA content after fermentation of linseed flour (Beyer-Sehlmeyer et al. 2003).

- In the UK, the effect of adding 85 g/d of raw watercress to the usual diet for 8 weeks was an increase in β-carotene levels by a mean of 100 nmol/l ( 28 ) . Considering the quantity of green leafy vegetables in the intervention in the present study, it would appear that the effect size is consistent with this finding.

The a-cryptoxanthin standard used by these researchers was isolated from Amaranthus viridis.

- Furthermore, with regard to fruits rich in fibre, human trials have identified anti-cancer actions of cruciferous vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, watercress and mixed types, resulting in significant reductions in DNA damage and oxidation ( 45 ) . With regard to fruits rich in polyphenols, a number of human interventions on berries showed a reducing action on cell proliferation and polyp percentages, in addition to an increase in cell apoptosis in CRC patients ( 46 ) .
