Biochem/physiol Actions

Urolithin C is chebulic ellagitannins metabolite that exerts antiproliferative and antioxidant activity. Urolithin C exhibit glucose dependent enhancement of insulin secretion in islet cells under normal or dysfunctional conditions. Apparently, it facilitates L-type Ca2+ channel opening and Ca2+ influx into pancreatic β-cells.

The pharmacology of polyphenol metabolites on beta-cell function is largely undetermined. We sought to identify polyphenol metabolites that enhance the insulin-secreting function of beta-cells and to explore the underlying mechanisms. INS-1 beta-cells and rat isolated islets of Langerhans or perfused
