Pomegranate constituents and metabolites are present in blood plasma after oral ingestion of an anthocyanin and hydrolysable tannin rich extract. Representative HPLC chromatograms of plasma samples collected from rabbits before (A) and 2 h after consumption of PFE (B). Peak with double asterisk in B has the elution profile identical to that of purified ellagic acid standard shown in C. Peaks with single asterisk in C were detected only in plasma samples obtained after the oral ingestion of PFE but not in control plasma samples (blood drawn before feeding PFE).
