TL;DR: The major metabolites identified were an O-methylated derivative of HT, glucuronides of HT and TYR and a novel glutathionylated conjugate of HT.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether conjugated diene isomers of linoleic acid (CLA) possess anticarcinogenic and antiatherogenic properties, but little is known about their metabolism.

TL;DR: Hydroxytyrosol was highly protective against the peroxynitrite-dependent nitration of tyrosine and DNA damage by peroxlynitrite in vitro and could conceivably provide a defense against damage by oxidants in vivo.

TL;DR: The data suggest that olive oil polyphenols may exert chemopreventative effects in the large intestine by interacting with signalling pathways responsible for colorectal cancer development.

TL;DR: It is shown that capsinoids also show remarkable antioxidant activity, and benign analogues of capsaicin could protect linoleic acid against free radical attack in simple in vitro systems, inhibiting both its autoxidation and its iron- or EDTA-mediated oxidation.
