The Origin and Evolution of Plant Flavonoid Metabolism
During their evolution, plants have acquired the ability to produce a huge variety of compounds. Unlike the specialized metabolites that accumulate in limited numbers of species, flavonoids are widely distributed in the plant kingdom.

In the present study, we created the weight gain models with Min and Yorkshire pigs and conducted the metagenomics and metabolomics of colon contents and transcriptomics of colon tissue. Further, we revealed the characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Overall, this

Optimization of Sequential Microwave-Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction for Maximum Recovery of Quercetin and Total Flavonoids from Red Onion (Allium cepa L.) Skin Wastes [PDF]
This study aimed to optimize the extraction conditions in order to maximize the recovery yields of quercetin and total flavonoids from red onion skin wastes using sequential microwave-ultrasound-assisted extraction. Five effective factors on quercetin extraction yield were investigated using response surface methodology.

Role of dietary flavonoids in oxidative stress and prevention of muscle atrophy
Functional foods for the prevention of disuse muscle atrophy (DMA) are expected to improve the quality of life (QoL) of bedridden people. Ubiquitin ligases targeting muscle protein degradation, atrogin-1 and muscle-specific ring finger protein (MuRF-1 ...

Development of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the presence of different patterns of Trifolium repens shoot flavonoids [PDF]
We tested the effects of the flavonoid 3-methoxi-5,6,7,8-hydroxy-4'hydroxy flavone (NMHTV) isolated from shoots of non arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) inoculated clover, and of the flavonoids 5,6,7,8-hydroxy-3-methoxy flavone (MH-1); 5,6,7,8-hydroxy-4 ...

Arabidopsis MYB4 plays dual roles in flavonoid biosynthesis.
Flavonoids are major secondary metabolites derived from the plant phenylpropanoid pathway that play important roles in plant development and also exhibit human health benefits. So-called MBW ternary complexes involving R2R3-MYB and basic helix-loop-helix

Flavonoid Nanoparticles: A Promising Approach for Cancer Therapy
Flavonoids, a ubiquitous group of naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds, have recently gained importance as anticancer agents. Unfortunately, due to low solubility, absorption, and rapid metabolism of dietary flavonoids, their anticancer potential ...

Evaluation of Peppermint Leaf Flavonoids as SARS-CoV-2 Spike Receptor-Binding Domain Attachment Inhibitors to the Human ACE2 Receptor: A Molecular Docking Study [PDF]
Virtual screening is a computational technique widely used for identifying small molecules which are most likely to bind to a protein target. Here, we performed a molecular docking study to propose potential candidates to prevent the RBD/ACE2 attachment. These candidates are sixteen different flavonoids present in the peppermint leaf.
