Abstract
Polyphenols are beneficial for health, but are metabolised after consumption. We compared the vasorelaxant capacity of twenty-one physiologically relevant polyphenol metabolites in isolated mouse arteries. Hesperetin, urolithins and ferulic acid-4-O-sulfate-not their glucuronidated forms or ferulic acid-caused vasorelaxation. Therefore, we advise the use of relevant conjugates in future mechanistic research.
