The presence and induction of regioselective dehydroxylases dictate urolithin metabolism by Enterocloster species

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Urolithins are a class of bioactive metabolites derived from the metabolism of dietary ellagitannins by the human gut microbiota. In the gut, urolithins are dehydroxylated regioselectively based on microbiota composition and activity.

Vaccarin Improves Myocardial Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury by Attenuating Oxidative Stress and Ferroptosis Through Reducing NOX4‐Modulated JAK2/STAT3 Pathway Activation

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vaccarin is a naturally occurring flavonoid glycoside with cardioprotective properties; however, its involvement in myocardial ischemia–reperfusion (MI/R) injury remains poorly defined. We herein investigated whether vaccarin protects cardiomyocytes from MI/R‐induced dysfunction in vivo and in vitro and examined the associated molecular ...
