Bioavailability and Metabolism of Rosemary Infusion Polyphenols Using CACO-2 and HEPG2 Cell Model Systems.

Author
Abstract
:

Rosmarinus officinalis is an aromatic plant used in folk medicine due to the therapeutic properties associated to its phenolic composition, rich in rosmarinic acid (RA) and caffeic acid (CA). To better understand the bioactivity of these compounds, their absorption and metabolism were assessed in human Caco-2 and HepG2 cells, as small intestine and liver models, respectively, using RA and CA standards, as well as a rosemary infusion and ferulic acid (FA).
