A highly soluble quercetin glycoside, αG-rutin, is a glucose adduct of insoluble rutin, and intestinal absorption and metabolism of αG-rutin has not been known. We investigated the intestinal absorption and metabolism of αG-rutin by using portal and duodenal cannulated rats and the isolated rat intestinal mucosa. After a duodenal instillation of αG-rutin (150 μmol), intact αG-rutin, rutin and quercetin were appeared in the portal blood and these concentrations were similarly increased at 15 min. Portal quercetin reached a peak value at 60 min, and the value was higher than those of αG-rutin and rutin at that time. Quercetin-conjugates were also increased 30 min after the instillation. The remaining of αG-rutin metabolites, mainly rutin, in the intestine were 58% of instilled αG-rutin after 150 min. In the experiment by using the isolated mucosa of the jejunum, ileum and cecum, αG-rutin and rutin, but not quercetin, appeared in the serosal sides of all segments, and they were increased linearly from 10 to 100 mmol/l of mucosal αG-rutin. We also showed portal injected αG-rutin was very rapidly cleared from the blood, and appeared a large amount of conjugates. In conclusion, a soluble flavonoid-glycoside, αG-rutin, was absorbed as glycosides into the portal blood. A part of αG-rutin was hydrolyzed to rutin, but not to aglycone, through the intestine.
