Acteoside was used for anaerobic incubation with rat intestinal flora in vitro. HPLC was used to detect the changes of acteoside at different incubation time points and HPLC-Q-TOF-MS was used to identify the metabolites of acteoside. The results showed that acteoside could be metabolized by rat intestinal flora in vitro and the metabolites were 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl acid, caffeic acid and 3-(3'-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a commonly used immunosuppressant. In the human body, MPA is metabolized into mycophenolic acid 7-O-glucuronide (MPAG) and mycophenolic acid acyl-glucuronide (AcMPAG) mainly through liver glucuronidation, which involves UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGTs) and transfer proteins. Research has indicated that the pharmaceutical excipient PEG400 can impact drug processes in the body, potentially affecting the pharmacokinetics of MPA.

Tannin is the main naturally occurring phytochemicals in Rubus chingii Hu with poor digestive stability and low bioavailability. In this study, oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion gels encapsulating Rubus chingii Hu ellagitannins (RCHT) were fabricated and their structure, rheology, stability, in vitro digestion and in vivo metabolism were characterized. The W/O emulsion gel showed smaller particle size, better pH stability, thermal stability, centrifugal stability and storage stability.

Background: Several epidemiological studies and intervention trials have demonstrated that grapes and blueberries, which are rich in flavanols, can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the mechanisms of action of these compounds remain unclear due to their low bioavailability.
Objective: This study aimed to characterize the sensory properties, blood flow velocity, and oxidative stress of a polyphenol rich grape and blueberry extract (PEGB) containing approximately 16% flavanols (11% monomers and 4% dimers).

Cisplatin, a chemotherapeutic drug, is known for causing gastrointestinal disorders and neuropathic pain, but its impact on visceral sensitivity is unclear. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) has been shown to improve gastrointestinal dysmotility and neuropathic pain induced by cisplatin in rats. This study aimed to determine if repeated cisplatin treatment alters visceral sensitivity and whether dietary MSG can prevent these changes.

Increasing evidence suggests that dysbiosis of gut microbiota exacerbates chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Curcumin (CUR) has been reported to alleviate renal fibrosis in animal models of CKD. However, the relationship between CUR and gut microbiome in CKD remains unclear.
