TABLE 1

1H NMR data of hesperetin and the metabolite (identified as hesperetin 3′-O-sulfate) formed in the incubation mixture of hesperetin with specific SULT isoforms and human small intestinal cytosol and PAPS

The differences in chemical shift values of the protons in the metabolite compared with the chemical shift values of the same protons in hesperetin are given in parentheses.
