Flavonoids exert a multiplicity of biological effects on humans and
can have beneficial implications for numerous disease states.
Flavonoids and Related Compounds: Bioavailability and Function
examines current knowledge regarding the absorption, metabolism,
and bioavailability of individual flavonoids and related phenolic
compounds. Profiling the latest evidence of their impact on various
human pathological conditions, the book summarizes current thinking
with regard to the biotransformation and conjugation of individual
compounds in the gastrointestinal tract, liver, large intestine,
and cells. It highlights a topic that has been largely
ignored-namely the extent to which dietary phenolics components
undergo metabolism in the large intestine. It also explores the
generation of bacterially derived metabolites. Individual chapters
discuss which metabolites enter the circulatory system and are
likely to offer protective actions against human diseases. Edited
by internationally recognized leaders in the field, the book
presents contributions by a panel of experts who demonstrate the
potential of flavonoids in ameliorating a range of disease states,
including cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. The
research presented in this volume provides a reliable starting
point for further inquiry and experimentation.
