Ellagic Acid
Time Course Production of Urolithins from Ellagic acid by Human Gut MicrobiotaGarcia-Villalba and colleagues from CEBAS-CSIC (ES) have conducted a study using detailed experiments in vitro and in vivo to identify the intermediary and final catabolites of ellagic acid in the human gut in order to…read more |

Ellagic Acid Metabolism by Human Gut Microbiota: Consistent Observation of Three Urolithin Phenotypes in Intervention Trials, Independent of Food Source, Age, and Health StatusFrancesco Tomás-Barberán and colleagues from CEBAS-CSIC(ES) have described three phenotypes for urolithin production, after intake of ellagitannin and ellagic acid. The proposed phenotypes could explain inter-individual variability in… read more |
