Journal ArticleDOI
Insights into the metabolism and microbial biotransformation of dietary flavan-3-ols and the bioactivity of their metabolites
María Monagas,Mireia Urpi-Sarda,Fernando Sánchez-Patán,Rafael Llorach,Ignacio Garrido,Carmen Gómez-Cordovés,Cristina Andres-Lacueva,Begoña Bartolomé +7 more
TL;DR: An insight is given into the metabolism and microbial biotransformation of flavan-3-ols, including tentative catabolic pathways and aspects related to the identification of bacteria with the ability to catabolize these kinds of polyphenols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyphenols and Human Health: A Prospectus
Francesco Visioli,Catalina Alarcón de la Lastra,Cristina Andres-Lacueva,Michael Aviram,Conceição Calhau,Alfredo Cassano,Massimo D'Archivio,Ana Faria,Gaëlle Favé,Vincenzo Fogliano,Rafael Llorach,Paola Vitaglione,Mario Zoratti,Marvin Edeas +13 more
TL;DR: The recent findings concerning the effects of polyphenols on human health are summarized, the current limitations at pitfalls are analyzed, and future directions for research are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The complex links between dietary phytochemicals and human health deciphered by metabolomics
TL;DR: The current methods used to evaluate intake of phytochemicals and their effects on health are reviewed and the applications of metabolomics are described, which illustrate the potential of a global approach to explore the complex relationships linking phytochemical intake and metabolism and health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of cocoa powder on the modulation of inflammatory biomarkers in patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease
María Monagas,Nasiruddin Khan,Cristina Andres-Lacueva,Rosa Casas,Mireia Urpi-Sarda,Rafael Llorach,Rosa M. Lamuela-Raventós,Ramon Estruch +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the intake of cocoa polyphenols may modulate inflammatory mediators in patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease and these antiinflammatory effects may contribute to the overall benefits of cocoa consumption against atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
