Phytochemicals and adipogenesis
AbstractObesity is an increasing health problem all over the world. Phytochemicals are potential agents to inhibit differentiation of preadipocytes, stimulate lipolysis, and induce apoptosis of existing adipocytes, thereby reducing the amount of adipose tissue.

Bioavailability of Phytochemicals
Phytochemicals are increasingly accepted as health promoting, maintaining, and repairing agents in cells, tissues, or the whole human body. Phytochemicals are compounds obtained from plants that exert particular health effects; generally, they are not necessarily basic nutrients (minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins or lipids), medicines or ...

Bioactive phytochemicals in barley
Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that regular consumption of whole grain barley reduces the risk of developing chronic diseases. The presence of barley fiber, especially β-glucan in whole grain barley, has been largely credited for these health benefits.

Quorum Sensing and Phytochemicals [PDF]
Most infectious diseases are caused by bacteria, which proliferate within quorum sensing (QS)-mediated biofilms. Efforts to block QS in bacteria and disrupt biofilms have enabled the identification of bioactive molecules that are also produced by plants.
