Bacteroides

Bacteroides is a genus of Gram-negative, obligate anaerobic bacteria.

See Urolithin and Bacteroides

Bioavailability

In pharmacology, bioavailability is a subcategory of absorption and is the fraction (%) of an administered drug that reaches the systemic circulation.

See Urolithin and Bioavailability

Biological activity

In pharmacology, biological activity or pharmacological activity describes the beneficial or adverse effects of a drug on living matter.

See Urolithin and Biological activity

Clostridium leptum

Clostridium leptum is a bacterium species in the genus Clostridium.

See Urolithin and Clostridium leptum

Ellagic acid

Ellagic acid is a polyphenol found in numerous fruits and vegetables. Urolithin and Ellagic acid are Coumarins.

See Urolithin and Ellagic acid

Ellagitannin

The ellagitannins are a diverse class of hydrolyzable tannins, a type of polyphenol formed primarily from the oxidative linkage of galloyl groups in 1,2,3,4,6-pentagalloyl glucose.

See Urolithin and Ellagitannin

Enterotype

An enterotype is a classification of living organisms based on the bacteriological composition of their gut microbiota.

See Urolithin and Enterotype

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (GI tract, digestive tract, alimentary canal) is the tract or passageway of the digestive system that leads from the mouth to the anus. The GI tract contains all the major organs of the digestive system, in humans and other animals, including the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.

See Urolithin and Gastrointestinal tract

Glucuronide

A glucuronide, also known as glucuronoside, is any substance produced by linking glucuronic acid to another substance via a glycosidic bond.

See Urolithin and Glucuronide

Gut microbiota

Gut microbiota, gut microbiome, or gut flora are the microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses, that live in the digestive tracts of animals.

See Urolithin and Gut microbiota

Metabolite

In biochemistry, a metabolite is an intermediate or end product of metabolism.

See Urolithin and Metabolite

Microbiota

Microbiota are the range of microorganisms that may be commensal, mutualistic, or pathogenic found in and on all multicellular organisms, including plants.

See Urolithin and Microbiota

Pomegranate

The pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub in the family Lythraceae, subfamily Punicoideae, that grows between tall.

See Urolithin and Pomegranate

Pomegranate ellagitannin

The pomegranate ellagitannins, which include punicalagin isomers, are ellagitannins found in the sarcotestas, rind (peel), bark or heartwood of the pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum).

See Urolithin and Pomegranate ellagitannin

Prevotella

Prevotella is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria.

See Urolithin and Prevotella

Punicalagin

Punicalagin (Pyuni-cala-jen) is an ellagitannin, a type of phenolic compound.

See Urolithin and Punicalagin

Urine

Urine is a liquid by-product of metabolism in humans and in many other animals.

See Urolithin and Urine

Urolithin A

Urolithin A is a metabolite compound resulting from the transformation of ellagitannins by the gut bacteria. Urolithin and Urolithin A are Benzochromenes, Coumarins and phenolic human metabolites.

See Urolithin and Urolithin A

Urolithin B

Urolithin B (UB) is an urolithin, a type of phenolic compounds produced in the human gut after absorption of ellagitannins-containing food such as pomegranate, strawberries, red raspberries, walnuts or oak-aged red wine. Urolithin and urolithin B are Benzochromenes, Coumarins and phenolic human metabolites.

See Urolithin and Urolithin B
