Characterization of A-type Proanthocyanidins in Peanut Skins Using MALDI-TOF MS
… recent years, due to its high content of A-type proanthocyanidins. A-type proanthocyanidins have been believed to contribute to cranberries' anti-UTI (urinary tract infection) effect. In this study, we compared the A-type proanthocyanidins in cranberry and peanut skin crude extracts using …

Protective potential of fruits against diabetes and its complications
… changes was explored and high-molecular weight proanthocyanidins (PAC-h) inhibited expression of glucose-6-phosphatase in a dose dependent manner. In addition, anthocyanins from V. trilobum interacted with the PAC-h in an additive manner to inhibit expression of glucose-6-phosphatase in vitro. …

Cranberry metabolites with urinary anti-adhesion activity
… components of cranberry juice, specifically proanthocyanidin oligomers (PACs), are currently believed to be responsible for the ability of cranberry juice to prevent UTIs. Cranberry PACs can prevent the adherence of P-fimbriated E. coli to uroepithelial cells in vitro and are hypothesized to …

Untersuchungen zu Regulatoren der Flavonoidbiosynthese in Arabidopsis thaliana : eine Studie zu neuen Funktionen bekannter Proteinklassen
… be subdivided into flavonols, anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins. A majority of the transcription factors, which are involved in the developmental and tissue specific accumulation of these metabolites, is well known. In this work a number of regulators of the flavonoid metabolism was analysed in …
