In an international context of promoting scientific research on food safety, the interest in molecules having potential hormonal disrupting effects is growing. While industrial endocrine disruptors (phthalates, alkylphenols, PCBs, etc.) have been studied for several years, natural compounds like phytoestrogens

This study investigated whether prunetin significantly affects the secretion, production and gene expression of mucin from cultured airway epithelial cells. Confluent primary rat tracheal surface epithelial (RTSE) cells were pretreated with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for 5 min and then chased for

Flavonoids have poor bioavailabilities largely because of metabolism via UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs). This study aims to further understand the functions of UGT in metabolizing genistein and apigenin, two compounds metabolized more extensively in the gut than in the liver. Because Gunn
Prunetin is an O-methylated isoflavone, which is a type of flavonoid. There are a limited number of reports detailing the biological activities of prunetin. Although an anti-inflammatory effect of prunetin has been reported in vitro, to our knowledge, there have
Palm fruit juice (PFJ) containing oil palm phenolics is obtained as a by-product from oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) fruit milling. It contains shikimic acid, soluble fibre and various phenolic acids including p-hydroxybenzoic acid and three caffeoylshikimic acid isomers. PFJ has
