Objective: Flavonoids, as antioxidants, may prevent the progressive impairment of
pancreatic β-cell function due to oxidative stress and may thus reduce the occurrence of type …

Background: Data from mechanistic studies support a beneficial effect of specific flavonoids
on insulin sensitivity. However, few studies have evaluated the relation between intakes of …

Flavonoids have anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects and thus may protect against
diabetes. Therefore, we hypothesized that consumption of flavonoids and specific food and …

Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of flavonoid intake and disease risk,
however the association between flavonoid intake and obesity has not been evaluated in a …

Epidemiological studies have reported that diets high in flavonoids are associated with a
reduced risk of CVD. However, evidence on the association of dietary flavonoid intake with …

Background: Although growing evidence from trials and population-based studies has
supported a protective role for flavonoids in relation to risk of certain chronic diseases, the …

Flavonoids show antiinflammatory effects in vitro and human intervention studies have
suggested beneficial effects of flavonoid-rich foods on biomarkers of inflammation and …

abstract Background: Intake of flavonoid-containing food has been shown to have a
beneficial effect on blood pressure in short-term randomized trials. There are limited data on …

With the dramatically increasing prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)
