ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: We studied whether alcohol intake influences in urinary 4-Hyp concentration and whether 4-Hyp concentration is change by time in healthy office workers for 2 weeks. METHODS: Three healthy male workers, who has a same job, recruited for this study, aged from 29 to 33 years, who had been any diagnosed or treated to the alcohol or bone related diseases. Urine samples were picked about 30 ml in screw capped vials for 2 weeks, and analysing method were used to previous published method for determination of urinary 4-Hyp with dansyl chloride. RESULTS: From the ANOVA-test results about objects' Hyp concentration that classify by urine picking time, When subjects did not ingest alcohol, urinary 4-Hyp concentration was difference according to subjects for-work and post-work. But, did not show difference when subjects ingested alcohol. While, T-test result that do alcohol intake existence and nonexistence and urine picking time by variable, urinary 4-Hyp concentration did not show difference for-work and post-work, but there was difference in post-work that is next day that ingest alcohol. When did not ingest alcohol, mean concentration of urinary 4-Hyp increased go by post-work (3.80+/-6.47 nmol/mg creatinine) in pre-work (1.46+/-1.61 nmol/mg creatinine). But when ingested alcohol, mean concentration of urinary 4-Hyp decreased by the next day morning (3.32+/-6.36 nmol/mg creatinine), order of for-work (1.54+/-1.59 nmol/mg creatinine) in alcohol intake future generations post-work (5.09+/-6.41 nmol/mg creatinine). CONCLUSION: We confirmed that alcohol is influencing in urinary 4-Hyp concentration of three healthy male workers, who has a same job, for 2 weeks, and mean concentration of 4-Hyp increasing go by the post-work in the pre-work, could confirm that influence in the next day morning if ingest alcohol in the evening.
