Signatures of anthocyanin metabolites identified in humans inhibit biomarkers of vascular inflammation in human endothelial cells

摘要

ScopeThe physiological relevance of contemporary cell culture studies is often perplexing, given the use of unmetabolized phytochemicals at supraphysiological concentrations. We investigated the activity of physiologically relevant anthocyanin metabolite signatures, derived from a previous pharmacokinetics study of 500 mg ¹³C5‐cyanidin‐3‐glucoside in eight healthy participants, on soluble vascular adhesion molecule‐1 (VCAM‐1) and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) in human endothelial cells.
