New metabolites of riboflavin appear in human urine.

Profile of volatile metabolites in human urine.

Volatile constituents of 30 urines from 10 adults have been studied by gas chromatography, and two also by mass spectrometry. The sample was prepared by extracting urine with ethyl ether, distilling the extract at low temperature under reduced pressure, and concentrating the distillate to a few microliters. High-efficiency capillary columns, 150 m X 0.5 mm i.d., provide the resolution necessary...

Pharmacokinetics of alkylresorcinol metabolites in human urine.

Wholegrain cereals are reported to promote beneficial health effects. Wholegrain wheat and rye are almost exclusive sources of alkylresorcinols, and intact alkylresorcinols together with their plasma and urinary metabolites, 3-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-propanoic acid (DHPPA) and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA), have been proposed as biomarkers of the intake of these foods in humans. The pharmaco...

Anthocyanin metabolites in human urine and serum.

In the present study we investigated the metabolic conversion of cyanidin glycosides in human subjects using solid-phase extraction,HPLC-diode array detector, MS, GC, and enzymic techniques. Volunteers consumed approximately 20 g chokeberry extract containing 1.3 g cyanidin 3-glycosides (899 mg cyanidin 3-galactoside, 321 mg cyanidin 3-arabinoside, 51 mg cyanidin 3-xyloside and 50 mg cyanidin 3...

The fluorimetric determination of riboflavin in urine.

The quantitation of metabolites of quercetin flavonols in human urine.

The flavonoid quercetin, or its metabolites, inhibit chemical carcinogenesis in rodents and may have a role in the prevention of human cancers. Quercetin exposure in human populations results from the dietary intake of various plant foods; high concentrations of quercetin are found in apples, onions, tea, and red wine. Determination of the relationship between dietary intake and cancer risk dep...
