TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of DEHP exposure on the ability of female pups to perform a learned avoidance test, the beam walking test, was evaluated in a rat litter.

TL;DR: This comprehensive review of the current evidence defining the position of polyphenols in the prevention/treatment of human chronic diseases, including prostate cancer and other types of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease focuses on their ability to modulate multiple signalling transduction pathways involved in the pathophysiology of these diseases.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that the antioxidant efficiency of the methanolic extract may be attributed to its phenolic content, and the antioxidant activity was maintained after removal of glucosinolates, confirming that these compounds do not interfere with the antioxidant properties of the extract.

TL;DR: Improved antioxidant efficacy of rutin was investigated, as affected by molecular encapsulation within beta-cyclodextrin (batophenanthroline test; comet assay; lipid peroxidation); the inclusion complex revealed improved antioxidant efficacy that may be in part explained by an increased solubility in the biological moiety.

TL;DR: In this paper, a co-evaporation method was used for the inclusion of some flavonols (3-hydroxyflavone, morin and quercetin) with α-and β-cyclodextrins, by using different analytical techniques (DSC, XRPD, FT-IR, 1 H -NMR, UV-Vis) to investigate the structural characteristics of such supramolecular aggregates.
