Oenothein B in Eucalyptus Leaf Extract Suppresses Fructose Absorption in Caco-2 Cells
Inhibition of fructose absorption may suppress adiposity and adiposity-related diseases caused by fructose ingestion. Eucalyptus leaf extract (ELE) inhibits intestinal fructose absorption (but not glucose absorption); however, its active compound has not

IFNγ production by human lymphocytes in response to oenothein B.
(A) Human PBMCs (105 cells/well) were treated with the indicated concentrations of oenothein B or X-VIVO medium alone for 48 hrs, and soluble IFNγ levels in supernatant fluids were measured by ELISA.

Priming of human NK cells to IL-18 by oenothein B.
(A) Human PBMCs (105 cells/well) were treated with the indicated concentrations of oenothein B or X-VIVO medium alone for 48 hrs, and expression of IL-18R on human NK cells was determined by flow cytometry.

Oenothein B induces CD25 on human T cells.
Human PBMCs (105 cells/well) were treated with the indicated concentrations of oenothein B in X-VIVO medium for 42 hrs. CD25 expression on lymphocytes, which included γδ T cells (CD3+/γδ TCR+), NK cells (CD3−/CD56+), and αβ T cells (CD3+/γδ TCR-), was ...
