8. Absorption, metabolism
and excretion of GCP
Method:
Four male and four female healthy
persons were given GCP by 2.0 g of dosage one time oral administration,
the whole peripheral blood was taken at the times of 0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and
24 hours after the GCP was taken. The urine was collected at times of
0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours after taken. The concentrations of GCP in
serum and in urine were detected by HPLC. Soybean extract (SEB,
the material of GCP) was taken as a control.
Result: GCP
concentration in serum as well increased to the peak 3 hours after GCP
was taken, then the peaks went down slowly after 5 to 7 hours. Then they
removed to the base line about 24 hours later. The result showed that a
higher genistein peak (about 5 times greater than the SBE control)
occurred in the GCP intake group, which indicated GCP was well absorbed
in the serum.
