Xanthohumol Metabolism and Signature

This is a double‐masked, placebo controlled, randomized clinical trial of xanthohumol, which is a constituent of hops (Humulus lupulus). Hops and its constituents have a long history of use for a variety of conditions. However, knowledge is limited regarding the measurable biological markers of human exposure, and the role of xanthohumol metabolism by microorganisms present in the gut. This information is necessary for the development of xanthohumol as a potential therapeutic intervention in conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease.
