| Description | Sennidin B stimulates glucose incorporation in rat adipocytes. |
| In vitro | The bacterium hydrolyzed sennosides A and Sennidin B to sennidin A and Sennidin B via sennidin A and Sennidin B 8-monoglucosides, respectively. Among nine species of Bifidobacterium having beta-glucosidase activity, only Bifidobacterium dentium and B. adolescentis metabolized sennoside B to Sennidin B, suggesting that the sennoside-metabolizing bacteria produce a novel type of beta-glucosidase capable of hydrolyzing sennosides to sennidins[1] |
