Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism of Apigenin in Female and Male Rats After a Single Oral Administration

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The metabolism of apigenin, a weak estrogenic flavonoid phytochemical, was investigated in the rat. After a single oral administration of radiolabeled apigenin, 51.0% of radioactivity was recovered in urine, 12.0% in feces, 1.2% in the blood, 0.4% in the kidneys, 9.4% in the intestine, 1.2% in the liver, and 24.8% in the rest of the body within 10 days. Sex differences appear with regard to the nature of compounds eliminated via the urinary route: immature male and female rats, like mature female rats… Show more

“…We saw significant decreases in IL-6 secretion with concentrations as low as 1 μM. These data suggest that a plasma concentrations of ∼1.5 μM apigenin, which is achievable through dietary sources (Gradolatto et al 2005), can be an effective suppressor of the SASP.…”

“…A recent study on rats after a single p.o. dose of apigenin has shown a high-elimination half time (f90 hours), suggesting that frequent consumption may result in accumulation of flavonoids in plasma and tissues (42). Studies have further shown that upon absorption, the flavonoids are metabolized by methylation or by conjugation with gluconate or sulfate via dual recycling involving both enteric and enterohepatic pathways (43,44).…”

“…The relative amounts of parent compound and metabolites were higher in female serum than those in males. Gender-related differences in drug metabolism, especially in the rat, have been reported for numerous drugs and occur in both phase I and phase II metabolism (Gradolatto et al, 2005;Anari et al, 2006;Prakash et al, 2007aPrakash et al, ,b, 2008. One factor commonly known to contribute to gender-and species-dependent metabolism is differential expression of drug metabolism enzymes, especially cytochrome P450 isoforms (Martignoni et al, 2006;Richert et al, 2008).…”
