The bioactivity of poly phenols depends on their bioaccessibility and bioavailability from the gas trointestinal (GI) tract after undergoing digestion and microbial biotrans formation processes followed by first pass intestinal and hepatic metaboli sm. Despite the functional significance of the polyphenols’ metabolites\, there is a paucity of knowledge with regards to microbial biotransformatio n of polyphenols and the bioactivity of the generated metabolites. The pre sent work performed a series of studies involving the combination of a sim ulated gut digestion with cell culture systems for the investigation of th e biotransformation\, bioavailability and bioactivity of commonly consumed polyphenols including chlorogenic\, caffeic\, ferulic acids and rutin and their metabolites.\n\nEveryone in the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community is welcome to atte nd a PhD oral defence. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments o f our PhD candidates.\n DTSTART:20190220T193000Z DTEND:20190220T193000Z LOCATION:MS2-022\, Macdonald-Stewart Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellev ue\, H9X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defence: Bioaccessibility\, Bioavailability and Bioactivit y of Polyphenols and Their Microbial Metabolites Following Simulated Dynam ic Gastrointestinal Digestion URL:/macdonald/channels/event/phd-oral-defence-bioacce ssibility-bioavailability-and-bioactivity-polyphenols-and-their-microbial- 294635 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
