Exploring the Phytochemical Landscape of the Early-Diverging Flowering Plant Amborella trichopoda Baill. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Although the evolutionary significance of the early-diverging flowering plant Amborella (Amborella trichopoda Baill.) is widely recognized, its metabolic landscape, particularly specialized metabolites, is currently underexplored.

Human O-sulfated metabolites of (−)-epicatechin and methyl-(−)-epicatechin are poor substrates for commercial aryl-sulfatases: Implications for studies concerned with quantifying epicatechin bioavailability

open access: yesPharmacological Research, 2012
Epicatechin is a widely consumed dietary flavonoid and there is substantial evidence that it contributes to the health benefits reported for flavanol-rich cocoa products including dark chocolate. Numerous reports have described the appearance of epicatechin and epicatechin phase-2 conjugates (sulfates and glucuronides of epicatechin and ...

Beyond “you are what you eat”: Unlocking gut microbiota‐mediated biotransformation of dietary phytochemicals

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
The “efficacy paradox” of phytochemicals, low bioavailability yet significant health benefits, is associated with gut microbiota, which biotransforms dietary precursors into bioactive metabolites, enabling systemic effects. Thus, health outcomes of diet depend not just on intake “the rainbow”, but on gut microbial metabolism, redefining “you are what ...

In vitro bioactivity of various pure flavonoids in ruminal fermentation, with special reference to methane formation

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2018
Polyphenols, like flavonoids, have been investigated when present in intact plants or in extracts as methane mitigating dietary supplements in ruminants. The aim of the present study was to examine pure compounds in a short-term in vitro experiment using

Proanthocyanidin monomers and cyanidin 3-O-glucoside accumulation in blood-flesh peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) fruit [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2017
To better understand the characteristics and mechanisms of proanthocyanidin monomers and anthocyanin synthesis in blood-flesh peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch), the accumulation of catechin, epicatechin and cyanidin 3-O-glucoside was determined,

(−)‐Epicatechin attenuates prednisolone induced‐hyperglycemia

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2012
The chronic use of steroids in humans is known to increase blood glucose levels. The consumption of (−)‐epicatechin (Epi) rich cocoa has been associated with improvements in insulin sensitivity and increases in mitochondrial volume and cristae density. During 15 days, rats were treated with prednisolone (Pred) (10 mg/Kg/day, SC) and received either Epi

Concentration and composition of condensed tannins in leaves from fodder trees and shrubs in Pakistan

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The lack of dependable, high‐quality forage and animal feedstuffs in many areas of the world hampers livestock production. In these regions, farmers often rely on native fodder tree and shrub leaves as a forage source for their animals with little or no information available on nutritional factors of these feedstuffs.
