COST Action 922:
Health Implications of Dietary Amines
COST Action 922 began in November 2001 and will run until 2006.
Main objectives
The main objectives are to assess and report on:
- hazards posed by amines and amine-related compounds in food
- benefits of dietary amines and amine-related compounds.
- recommendations for their concentrations in different European diets.
Within those major objectives there are other more specific questions such as:
- How are the compounds absorbed from the gut?
- How are the compounds metabolised in the body?
- How do the absorbed compounds affect the cells of the body?
- What interactions occur between amines and macromolecules?
- What is the tissue specificity of amine-related or -regulated genes or of the underlying signal transduction systems
