Component

Anthocyanin preparations tested in human fecal incubations

Anthocyanin preparations tested in human fecal incubations. Interpret through the linked experimental species, preparation, compartment and exposure; no universal causal effect is implied.

4 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it acts on

  1. Human fecal microbiota degraded the tested anthocyanins in anaerobic incubations, producing B-ring phenolic acids.

    Experimental context and source evidence
    evidence_access
    Primary indexed abstract reviewed; full methods, figures, exact doses or endpoint-specific species assignments may remain unextracted.
    experimental_model
    Anaerobic in vitro human fecal suspension; composition and source-specific structures matter.
    interpretation_status
    Source-derived extraction of a fact-checked reference; access is explicit, not independent raw-data verification.
    limitations
    Interpret only within the recorded preparation, exposure and comparator. The complete source passage retains qualifications; unspecified doses/timing have not been extracted here. No clinical efficacy, nutrient deficiency or unique molecular mediation is inferred.

    **Microbial cleavage and host conjugation are distinct steps.** Anaerobic human fecal incubations degraded glycosylated and acylated anthocyanins to B-ring-derived phenolic acids. Separate rat-liver microsome experiments produced glucuronides when supplied with activated glucuronic acid; the tested NADPH-supported P450 system did not hydroxylate or demethylate the pigments. These are model-specific positive and negative findings, not proof that all human metabolism is exclusively microbial or that every CYP interaction is absent.
