Studies in rats showed that pomegranate extract (PE) and its main microbiota-derived metabolite urolithin-A (UROA) favorably modulate the gut microbiota. In healthy subjects, UROA could be the most active anti-inflammatory compound derived from pomegranate ingestion; however, in colon inflammation, the effects are likely due to the nonmetabolized ellagitannin-related fraction of PE. |
