The present review of the literature on lignan physiology and lignan intervention and
epidemiological studies was conducted to determine if lignans decrease the risks of …

Background Lignans are large group of polyphenols that are formed by the coupling of two
coniferyl alcohol residues. Based on their origin, lignans are broadly grouped into plant …

Dietary guidelines universally advise adherence to plant-based diets. Plant-based foods
confer considerable health benefits, partly attributable to their abundant micronutrient (eg …

Recent evidence has suggested that flavonoid and lignan intake may be associated with
decreased risk of chronic and degenerative diseases. The aim of this meta-analysis was to …

The current study provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of the lignan literature.
Data for the current study were extracted from the electronic Web of Science Core Collection …

The effects of flaxseed lignan (secoisolariciresinol diglucoside [SDG]) intake on
hypercholesterolemia and liver disease risk factors in moderately hypercholesterolemic men …

A number of animal studies have demonstrated that rats fed controlled diets supplemented
with psyllium fiber experience a significant decrease in serum cholesterol levels. The …

The mammalian lignans (a form of phytoestrogens), metabolically derived by the intestinal
microflora from dietary precursors, may have several health benefits. Information concerning …

ABSTRACT A lignan complex rich in the plant lignan secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG)
was isolated from flaxseed. SDG is metabolized by the colonic microflora to the mammalian …

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Plant lignans are metabolised by the colonic micro-flora to the
mammalian lignans enterodiol and enterolactone, which are hypothesized to be …
