In Vitro Metabolism of Plant Lignans: New Precursors of Mammalian Lignans Enterolactone and Enterodiol
9 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
The metabolism of the plant lignans matairesinol, secoisolariciresinol, pinoresinol, syringaresinol, arctigenin, 7-hydroxymatairesinol, isolariciresinol, and lariciresinol by human fecal microflora was investigated to study their properties as mammalian lignan precursors. The quantitative analyses of lignan precursors and the mammalian lignans enterolactone and enterodiol were performed by HPLC with coulometric...
