Description

Enterolactone is a naturally occurring metabolite of the omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid. Enterolactone has been shown to inhibit mitochondrial membrane potential and receptor activity in a model system. It also prevents water vapor loss through the bowel, which may be due to its ability to selectively block calcium channels on the small intestine. Enterolactone has been shown to have a preventive effect on bowel disease and is associated with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of human serum. The reaction mechanism of enterolactone is not well understood, but it has been shown that it does not interfere with protein synthesis or erythrocyte metabolism. The biological properties of enterolactone are still being studied, but high values have been found in kidney bean extract and blood samples from individuals who do not have bowel disease.
