Exploring the Impact of Urolithins A and B on Muscle Health: A Transcriptomic Analysis in Human Myotubes. [PDF]
J Cachexia Sarcopenia MuscleABSTRACT Background Urolithin A (UA) and urolithin B (UB) are gut microbiota‐derived metabolites of ellagitannins reported to influence mitochondrial function, inflammation and muscle metabolism. Their comparative transcriptomic effects in human skeletal muscle cells remain undefined.

Urolithins and intestinal health
Drug Discoveries & Therapeutics, 2022 There are trillions of microorganisms in the human intestine. They can react to the intestinal microenvironment by metabolizing food or producing small molecular compounds to affect the host's digestive ability and resist the risk of infection and autoimmune diseases.
