trans-Chalcone protects male rats against high-fat emulsion-induced pancreatic injury by inhibiting TNF-α and MCP-1 expression [PDF]
Background. High-fat diet (HFD) intake is linked to ectopic fat deposition in the pancreas. It also causes pancreatic inflammatory lesions. trans-Chalcone is a simple chalcone with protective effects against HFD-induced metabolic disorders.

The solubility and stability of heterocyclic chalcones compared with trans-chalcone [PDF]
Heterocyclic chalcones are a recently explored subgroup of chalcones that have sparked interest due to their significant antibacterial and antifungal capabilities. Herein, the structure and solubility of two such compounds, (E)-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-3-(thiophen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one and (E)-3-phenyl-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, are assessed.
