Unveiling contrasting iron efficiency strategies in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes under iron deficiency

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Common bean genotypes differ in their iron acquisition through distinct Strategy I responses and root exudation patterns. Abstract Iron (Fe) deficiency in food crops, particularly on calcareous soils, limits productivity and human nutrition. This study investigated two common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes, Guaymí (high Fe‐accumulating, HI) and ...

The effects of a (poly)phenol‐rich food intervention on markers of exercise‐induced inflammation and oxidative stress: A randomised controlled trial

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined whether consuming a (poly)phenol‐rich food before strenuous muscle‐damaging exercise can modify post‐exercise markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. Using a double‐blinded, randomised, placebo‐controlled, between‐subjects design, 26 recreationally active males (n = 15) and females (n = 11) consumed higher‐(poly ...

(Poly)phenols: Mechanisms of action and efficacy of contemporary supplements for exercise recovery and performance

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract (Poly)phenols are a diverse group of bioactive chemical compounds present in a wide range of plant‐ and animal‐based foods. Several thousands of (poly)phenols exist; many have potent biological effects, most notably antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and vasodilatory.

Enhancement of Statin Effects on Lipid Lowering and Reduction of Cardiovascular Risk Score by (−)‐Epicatechin in Proof‐of‐Concept Pilot Study

Clinical and Translational Science
Statins play an instrumental role in reducing and managing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) but can be difficult to tolerate due to muscle‐associated side effects. There remains an unmet need for strategies that improve statin tolerance and

Levels of phenolic acids, catechin and epicatechin in wines of Portugal and the Azores prodece from different varieties and vintages

OENO One, 2006
In recent decades, epidemiological studies have shown that the incidence of cardiovascular disease is less frequent in countries where wine is regularly consumed in moderate amounts.

Constituents of a fern, Davallia mariesii Moore. II. Identification and 1H- and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of procyanidin B-5, epicatechin-(4 beta----8)-epicatechin-(4 beta----6)-epicatechin, and epicatechin-(4 beta----6)-epicatechin-(4 beta----8)-epicatechin-(4 beta----6)-epicatechin.

Chemical & pharmaceutical bulletin, 1992
Procyanidin B-5 (1), epicatechin-(4 beta----8)-epicatechin-(4 beta----6)-epicatechin (2), and epicatechin-(4 beta----6)-epicatechin-(4 beta----8)-epicatechin-(4 beta----6)-epicatechin (3), which showed an inhibitory effect toward protein kinase C, were isolated from the rhizomes of Davallia mariesii Moore. Detailed analyses of their 1H- and 13C-nuclear

Modulation of (-)-epicatechin metabolism by coadministration with other polyphenols in caco-2 cell model

, 2014
Widely consumed beverages such as red wine, tea, and cocoaderived products are a great source of flavanols. Epidemiologic and interventional studies suggest that cocoa flavanols such as (- )-epicatechin may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Separation Technique of Tannins and Caffeine in Black Tea Using Modified Microwave-Assisted Extraction and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

International Journal of Technology
Black tea is known to contain condensed tannins including catechin (C), epicatechin (EC), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), as well as caffeine (CAF). Some consumers of specific diets avoid consuming tannins or CAF.
