- Proanthocyanidins are biotransformed by #Adlercreutzia equolifaciens JCM 14793T, #Eubacterium sp. SDG-2, #Eggerthella lenta rK3 and #Eggerthella lenta CAT-1 and from the phylum actinomycetes, which belong to the phylum #Actinobacteria, through the cleavage of the C-ring and dihydroxylation reactions to produce (−)EGC, (−)-gallocatechin (GC), (±)EC and (±)-catechin (C) - [1.2] [#Catechins, #Epicatechins]
- Epicatechin, catechin and the proanthocyanidins are the main flavan-3-ols metabolized by the gut microbiota that also elicit beneficial anti-inflammatory effects.
