White powder | [Usage]
A lignan isolated from the bark of Fagara plants and from sesame oil. Studies show that it has has multiple functions such as cholesterol-lowering and anti-hypertensive activities. It induces the expr
ession of the gene for aldehyde dehydrogenase, an alcohol-metabolizing enzyme suggesting it regulates the metabolism of lipids, xenobiotics, and alcohol at the mRNA level. | [Description]
Sesamin (607-80-7) is a natural product derived from sesame seeds with anticancer1, antioxidant2, anti-inflammatory/immunomodulatory3, and antidiabetic4,5 effects. It also displayed effects on cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism.6? Sesamin was recently found to inhibit bacterial L-tryptophan indole lyase (Ki = 7 μM).7 This enzyme reacts with dietary tryptophan to produce the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate which exacerbates chronic kidney disease. | [Uses]
