TY - JOUR AU - Weigmann, Benno AU - Hoensch, Harald P. PY - 2022 DA - 2022/07/21 TI - Nutritional Health and Bioflavonoids JO - Recent Progress in Nutrition SP - 017 VL - 02 IS - 03 AB - Flavonoids are phytochemicals (polyphenols) of plant origin. They can trap free oxygen radicals generated by mitochondria and other electronic transport chains, thereby inhibiting inflammatory and carcinogenic changes in vivo and in vitro. Why the body requires these compounds for the well-being of the organism and the maintenance of human health remains unclear. However, a deficit of flavonoids could lead to molecular malfunctions in cells, organelles, and macromolecules. This manuscript describes the occurrence and prevalence of flavonoid exposure in some chronic inflammatory diseases and their relationship with each other.
