肠内酯

化合物

肠内酯(英语:Enterolactone)是一种有机化合物,属于一种肠木脂素,化学式为C18H18O4。它是由肠道细菌分解食物中存在的植物木脂素产生。

来源

许多膳食植物木脂素前体,如开环异落叶松脂素英语Secoisolariciresinol罗汉松脂酚落叶松脂素英语Lariciresinol芝麻素等可以被肠道菌群代谢产生肠内酯[2][3][4]。在食用植物中,木脂素常与纤维结合,因此富含纤维的食品,如谷物、蔬菜、水果和浆果,通常是木脂素和肠内酯的良好来源。已知最丰富的肠内酯前体膳食来源是亚麻籽和芝麻籽[5][6][7]。肠内酯由特定肠道菌群产生,因此不同的人之间产生肠内酯能力不同[8]。使用抗生素对使肠内酯生产能力下降,而且需要一年才能恢复[9][10]

健康效益

肠内酯被认为对人类具有有益的健康作用。流行病学研究表明,乳腺癌患者的肠内酯浓度低于健康人群,这可能表明肠内酯具有抗癌作用。肠内酯和一些木脂素也可能对心血管疾病有预防作用[11][12]
