Isoorientin

Isoorientin (or homoorientin) is a flavone, a chemical flavonoid-like compound. It is the luteolin-6-C-glucoside. Bioassay-directed fractionation techniques led to isolation of isoorientin as the main hypoglycaemic component in Gentiana olivieri.[1]

Metabolism

gollark: I would suspect you're overwriting the public key then loading some signed code, but the loadstring looks too short for a signature.
gollark: It does? Neat.
gollark: Why the `shell.run` *and* `loadstring` though?
gollark: Hmm, this is interesting and gives me some ideas.
gollark: kind of/
