| Application: | Ellagic acid has been used: • to study the metabolism of dietary phenolic acids by Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 748T • as a potential substrate for the high production of Lactobacillus plantarum tannase • as a standard in the study to examine the phenolic components and anti-oxidant activity of nettle • to study the links between dietary ellagic acid and epigenetic modulation of adipogenesis |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Commonly occurring plant polyphenol, inhibitor of glutathione S-transferase. Used for the assay of factor XIIa in plasma. Contact activation in blood coagulation. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Ellagic acid has been found to exhibit antioxidant activity by virtue of having an inhibitory effect on the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins. This makes them have a cardioprotective effect on humans. In addition, it shows anticarcinogenic, antifibrotic, antiplasmodial, apoptotic, and chemopreventive activities as well. |
| General description: | Ellagic acid is a naturally occurring phenolic acid in many fruits and vegetables, as a secondary plant metabolite. It is commonly found in green tea, pomegranate, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and walnuts. |
