Everything about Rutin totally explained
| Section2 =
}}
Rutin, also called
rutoside,
quercetin-3-rutinoside and
sophorin, is a
citrus flavonoid glycoside found in
buckwheat
, the leaves and petioles of
Rheum species, and the fruit of the
Fava D'Anta tree (from
Brazil), as well as other sources. Rutin is the glycoside between the
flavonol quercetin and the
disaccharide rutinose.
It can combine with
cations, supplying
nutrients from the
soil to the cells in
plants. In humans, it attaches to the iron ion
Fe2+, preventing it from binding to
hydrogen peroxide, which would otherwise create a highly-reactive
free-radical that may damage cells. It is also an
antioxidant, and therefore plays a role in inhibiting some
cancers.
Rutin also strengthens the
capillaries, and, therefore, can reduce the symptoms of
haemophilia. It also may help to prevent a common unpleasant-looking venous
edema of the legs. Rutin, as
ferulic acid, can reduce the cytotoxicity of oxidized
LDL cholesterol and lower the risk of
heart disease.
Rutin has a
veterinary use in the management of
chylothorax in dogs.
