Highlights

 

  •  Flavonoids can inhibit enzymes or transcription factors important in inflammation.

 

  •  Flavonoids are potent antioxidants with the potential to attenuate tissue damage.

 

  •  Flavonoids seem to have beneficial properties in vitro in inflammatory diseases.

 

  •  Further clinical studies will be necessary to corroborate these findings.

 

 

Abstract

 

Inflammation plays a key role in diseases such as diabetes, asthma, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Diet can influence different stages of inflammation and can have an important impact on several inflammatory diseases. Increasing scientific evidence has shown that polyphenolic compounds, such as flavonoids, which are found in fruits, vegetables, legumes, or cocoa, can have anti-inflammatory properties. Recent studies have demonstrated that flavonoids can inhibit regulatory enzymes or transcription factors important for controlling mediators involved in inflammation. Flavonoids are also known as potent antioxidants with the potential to attenuate tissue damage or fibrosis. Consequently, numerous studies in vitro and in animal models have found that flavonoids have the potential to inhibit the onset and development of inflammatory diseases. In the present review, we focused in flavonoids, the most abundant polyphenols in the diet, to give an overview of the most recent scientific knowledge about their impact on different inflammatory diseases.

Paywall? Have you not heard of Sci Hub?

Yes, certainly, but not allowed here in Michael's words. Better to keep away publishers' flocks of lawyers from Longecity's front door bell.

 

But if you'd rather deepen into the paywalled article, it's your choice to go SciHubbing. My only job is to let you know of the study's existence.

I think Sci Hub needs to be supported. Academic publishers make a fortune by selling us the science that we the public have actually paid for by our taxes. We own that science, and it should thus be available to us.
