Impact of dietary polyphenols on carbohydrate metabolism.
Kati Hanhineva,Riitta Törrönen,Isabel Bondia-Pons,Jenna Pekkinen,Marjukka Kolehmainen,Hannu Mykkänen,Kaisa Poutanen +6 more
TL;DR: To confirm the implications of polyphenol consumption for prevention of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and eventually type 2 diabetes, human trials with well-defined diets, controlled study designs and clinically relevant end-points together with holistic approaches e.g., systems biology profiling technologies are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening of selected flavonoids and phenolic acids in 19 berries
TL;DR: The data suggest that berries have potential as good dietary sources of quercetin or ellagic acid, with certain similarities within families and genera.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenolic acids in berries, fruits, and beverages.
TL;DR: The contents of soluble and total phenolic acids were analyzed in samples of 29 berries and berry products, 24 fruits and fruit peels, and 12 beverages and caffeic acid dominated in all of these samples except in tea brews.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary Intake and Major Food Sources of Polyphenols in Finnish Adults
Marja-Leena Ovaskainen,Riitta Törrönen,Jani M. Koponen,Harri Sinkko,Jarkko Hellström,Heli Reinivuo,Pirjo Mattila +6 more
TL;DR: The aims of this study were to estimate the quantitative intakes of polyphenols by using analyzed concentrations together with individual food consumption records and to determine major dietary sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of Genes Involved in Anthocyanin Biosynthesis in Relation to Anthocyanin, Proanthocyanidin, and Flavonol Levels during Bilberry Fruit Development
Laura Jaakola,Kaisu Määttä,Anna Maria Pirttilä,Riitta Törrönen,Sirpa Kärenlampi,Anja Hohtola +5 more
TL;DR: A correlation between anthocyanin accumulation and expression of the flavonoid pathway genes during the ripening of berries is demonstrated and models for the connection between flavonol and anthOCyanin syntheses in fruit tissues are presented.
