their studie The effects of dietary ellagic acid
on rat hepatic and esophageal mucosal
cytochromes P450 and phase II enzymes. Ahn D et
al showed that ellagic acid causes a decrease in
total hepatic mucosal cytochromes and an
increase in some hepatic phase II enzyme
activities, thereby enhancing the ability of the
target tissues to detoxify the reactive
intermediates. Ellagic acid showed also a
