Intestinal Adaptation to Repeated Exposure of Flavonoid-rich Foods: In Vitro and Clinical Data
<p>Interest in application of flavonoids for chronic disease prevention has grown significantly, but the low oral bioavailability of these compounds from acute doses is commonly highlighted as a limitation when considering their biological significance. Still, the impact of broad dietary patterns …

Protective potential of fruits against diabetes and its complications
… were extracted and separated into fractions rich in different phytochemical classes. Fruits of V. trilobum demonstrated significant ability to improve energy expenditure by increasing fatty acid oxidation and glycogen accumulation in vitro. The role of gene expression on these changes was …

In vitro chemically-induced DNA damage in cancer patients and healthy individuals. The effect of genotoxic compounds in cells from polyposis coli, colon cancer patients and healthy individuals.
… was conducted. In the presence of the flavonoids, quercetin and rutin that were acting in an antioxidant manner, the DNA damage resulting from the highest doses of food mutagens was significantly reduced. Thus, dietary supplementation with flavonoid-rich vegetables and fruits may prove …

Investigations into the effects of berry flavonoids on nutrient transport processes in Caco-2 enterocytes
Flavonoids are known to interact with a number of membrane transporters, influencing the rate of intestinal nutrient absorption. The transcriptional effects and consequences of such interactions remained to be fully elucidated. To address this we carried out gene expression microarray analysis on …

Flavonoid protection of cardiac cells against ischemia-reperfusion injury
… Polyphenols, and in a more specific category, flavonoids are strong antioxidants, while possessing other biological activities such as anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilatory effects. I hypothesized that flavonoids are able to reduce ischemia-reperfusion-induced cell death through …

Evidence-based design, physiological efficacy testing and consumer analysis of an exemplar model of a fruit derived bioactive functional food for use in physical performance and exercise settings
… model took the form of a blackberry polyphenol enriched high protein milk. Chapter 2 reviews the literature on new product development and discusses the role of polyphenols and protein in post-exercise recovery and supporting endurance exercise performance. The review confirms the efficacy of …

Investigation of the antibacterial activity of selected flavonoids.
… now an urgent need for new antibacterial agents. Flavonoids are a class of natural product with a diverse range of pharmacological properties, and previous studies at The Robert Gordon University and University of London have identified several candidates suitable for antibacterial analysis. The …
