Flavonoids in Health and Disease

Abstract

Occurrence and analysis: analysis and identification of flavonoids in practice phenolic acids in fruits flavonoids in medical plants. Chemical and biochemical properties: chemistry of flavonoids antioxidant properties of flavonoids, reduction potentials, and electron transfer reactions of flavonoid radicals flavonoid and metal interactions in biological systems inhibition of mitochondrial function by flavonoids. Antioxidant activities: structure-antioxidant activity relationships of flavonoids and isoflavonoids structural aspects of antioxidant activity of flavonoids effects of flavonoids on the oxidation of low density lipoprotein flavonoids as inhibitors of lipid peroxidation in membranes isoflavonoids as inhibitors of lipid peroxidation and quenchers of singlet oxygen. Nutritional studies: ginkgo biloba extract EG6 761 - biological actions, antioxidant activity, and regulation of nitric oxide synthase nutritional studies of flavonoids in wine nutrition of grape phenolics flavonoids and phenylpropanoids as contributors to the antioxidant activity of fruit juices pycnogenol. In Vivo effects: anti-cancer properties of flavonoids, with emphasis on citrus flavonoids quercetin in foods, cardiovascular disease, and cancer absorption, metabolism, and bioavailability of flavonoids flavonoids and coronary heart disease-dietary perspectives.
