Direct Identification and Quantification of Flavonoids and Their Structural Isomers Using Ambient Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry. [PDF]
Rapid Commun Mass SpectromABSTRACT Rationale Flavonoids are phenolic compounds with many health‐benefiting properties. However, differentiating different types of flavonoids and their isomers is challenging due to their highly similar structures of various subtypes and different numbers and sites of substituents.

The Dietary Isoflavone Daidzein Reduces Expression of Pro-Inflammatory Genes through PPARα/γ and JNK Pathways in Adipocyte and Macrophage Co-Cultures. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Obesity-induced inflammation caused by adipocyte-macrophage interactions plays a critical role in developing insulin resistance, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) regulate inflammatory gene expression in these cells.

Studies on the Inclusion Complexes of Daidzein with β-Cyclodextrin and Derivatives
Molecules, 2017 The inclusion complexes between daidzein and three cyclodextrins (CDs), namely β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), methyl-β-cyclodextrin (Me-β-CD, DS = 12.5) and (2-hydroxy)propyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD, DS = 4.2) were prepared. The effects of the inclusion behavior
