Phenolic compounds in plants and agri-industrial by-products: Antioxidant activity, occurrence, and potential uses
TL;DR: Phenolic compounds, ubiquitous in plants are an essential part of the human diet, and are of considerable interest due to their antioxidant properties as mentioned in this paper, and their structures may range from a simple phenolic molecule to a complex high-molecular weight polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flavonoids—Chemistry, metabolism, cardioprotective effects, and dietary sources
N.C. Cook,Samir Samman +1 more
TL;DR: The structural requirements for the antioxidant and free radical scavenging functions of flavonoids include a hydroxyl group in carbon position three, a double bond between carbon positions two and three, carbonyl groups in carbon positions four, and polyhydroxylation of the A and B aromatic rings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of 4 diets of varying glycemic load on weight loss and cardiovascular risk reduction in overweight and obese young adults: a randomized controlled trial.
Joanna McMillan-Price,Peter Petocz,Fiona S. Atkinson,Kathleen O’Neill,Samir Samman,Katherine S Steinbeck,Ian D. Caterson,Jennie Brand-Miller +7 more
TL;DR: Both high-protein and low-GI regimens increase body fat loss, but cardiovascular risk reduction is optimized by a high-carbohydrate, low- GI diet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin B12 in Health and Disease
Fiona O'Leary,Samir Samman +1 more
TL;DR: This review aims to outline the metabolism of vitamin B12, and to evaluate the causes and consequences of sub-clinical vitamin B 12 deficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc and regulation of inflammatory cytokines: implications for cardiometabolic disease.
Meika Foster,Samir Samman +1 more
TL;DR: The interplay of zinc and inflammation warrants further examination, given the high prevalence of zinc deficiency and chronic disease globally, and the mechanism of action may reflect the ability of zinc to either induce or inhibit the activation of NF-κB.
