Review of the flavonoids quercetin, hesperetin, and naringenin. Dietary sources, bioactivities, bioavailability, and epidemiology (2004, background): “A few general reviews on flavonoids [18-20] have been published during the past few years.”
Important Flavonoids and Their Role as a Therapeutic Agent (2020, background): “Flavonoids act as exogenous antioxidants and are directly oxidized by radicals to form less reactive species via four mechanisms, namely (1) the inhibition of nitric-oxide synthase activity, (2) inhibition of xanthine oxidase activity, (3) modulation of channel pathways, or by (4) interacting with o”
Natural antioxidants as stabilizers for polymers (2017, background): “The structure-activity correlations of flavonoids have been discussed in other reviews [78-80] and are out of the scope of this paper, thus only the most important aspects are mentioned here.”
Contents of polyphenols in fruit and vegetables (2006, neutral): “1 g/daily (Bravo, 1998; Nijveldt, 2000).”
In vitro antioxidant capacity of honeybee-collected pollen of selected floral origin harvested from Romania. (2009, background): “The antioxidant activity of polyphenols is mainly due to their redox properties, which can play an important role in neutralising free radicals, quenching oxygen, or decomposing peroxides (Nijveldt et al., 2001).”
Tocopherol composition and antioxidant activity of Spanish wild vegetables (2012, background): “They play a vital role in the stability of food products, as well as in the antioxidative defense mechanisms of biological systems (Nijveldt et al. 2001).”
Oxidative Stress and Inflammation: What Polyphenols Can Do for Us? (2016, background): “Flavonoids may also reduce the activity of peroxidase and may inhibit the release of free radicals by neutrophils and activation of these cells by α1-antitrypsin [49].”
Herbal extracts and phytochemicals: plant secondary metabolites and the enhancement of human brain function. (2011, background): “Consumption of resveratrol is associated with numerous protective health benefits in mammals, including increased longevity (275), antiinflammatory (276) and antiviral properties (277), and protection against cancer and tumorogenesis (278), cardiovascular disease (279), and atherosclerosis (280).”
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Generation and Detoxifying in Plants (2014, background): “Several flavonoids act as the potential inhibitors of the enzyme lipoxygenase, which converts polyunsaturated fatty acids to oxygen-containing derivatives (Nijveldt et al., 2001).”
The antioxidant function of many animal pigments: are there consistent health benefits of sexually selected colourants? (2005, background): “There is an enormous literature on the human health benefits of flavonoids in fruits, vegetables and plant extracts (e.g. herbal tea, wine) (reviewed in Pietta 2000; Nijveldt et al. 2001; Prior 2003).”
Antioxidant and prooxidant properties of flavonoids. (2011, background): “functions [30].”
