Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of [14C]sesamin in rats

ConclusionsSesamin was absorbed efficiently and distributed over the whole body. In particular, sesamin was highly distributed in the form of the metabolites in the liver and kidney. The results of this study are useful in elucidating the action mechanism of sesamin. Sesamin is a major lignan in sesame seeds and has various physiological effects. Sesamin is absorbed efficiently and distributed over the whole body. In particular, sesamin is highly distributed in the form of its metabolites in the liver and kidney. The various physiological effects of sesamin may be due to the action of its metabolites.
