Description
InformationPhloretin (RJC 02792, NSC 407292, Dihydronaringenin) is a dihydrochalcone found in apple tree leaves, which shows beneficial effects on diabetes.In vitroPhloretin is a dihydrochalcone found in the bark of pear (Pyrus communis), apple, cherry and other fruit trees. Phloretin inhibits the active transport of glucose into cells by SGLT1 and SGLT2, though the inhibition is weaker than by its glycoside phlorizin. Orally consumed phlorizin is nearly entirely converted into phloretin by hydrolytic enzymes in the small intestine. An important effect of this is the inhibition of glucose absorption by the small intestine and the inhibition of renal glucose reabsorption. Phloretin also inhibits a variety of urea transporters. It induces urea loss and diuresis when coupled with high protein diets.In vivoCell Datacell lines:Concentrations:Incubation Time:Powder Purity:≥98%
