In this thesis, the tissue distribution and in vivo biotransformation of nobiletin in rodents were demonstrated on three types of rodents, i.e.A-J female mice, CD-1 male mice and male F344 male rats. The effects of colonic metabolites of CD-1 mice on colonic carcinogenesis and inflammation were determined. In order to mimic the long-term dietary consumption of PMFs from food or dietary supplements, we applied oral administration by mixing PMFs with standard diet to rodents who have free access to food. Moreover, nobiletin (NBT), one of the most abundant PMFs in nature, and its major metabolties were incubated with mice …

Choline and vitamin B12 are essential nutrients for growth and performances of production animals. However, both nutrients are extensively degraded during digestion in the rumen. This thesis comprised three experiments. First, four cows equipped with a rumen cannula and catheters in the portal vein and a mesenteric artery received a post-ruminal bolus of: 1) cyanocobalamin (CN-CBL) alone (0.1 g) [gram], 2) CN-CBL (0.1 g) + casein (10 g) or 3) CN-CBL (0.1 g) + whey proteins (10 g). After the bolus, blood samples were taken until 24 h [hour] post-bolus. The intestinal absorption of CN-CBL was greater when the vitamin …
