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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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.
