TL;DR: Potential mechanisms are described and research gaps, which limit the understanding of the interaction between diet and postprandial and chronic low-grade inflammation, are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flavonoids as anti-inflammatory agents.
TL;DR: In vitro evidence of anti-inflammatory actions of flavonoids in vitro or in cellular models might be somehow of limited impact due to the non-physiological concentrations utilized and to the fact that in vivo flavonoid are extensively metabolized to molecules with different chemical structures and activities compared with the ones originally present in the food.

TL;DR: An inverse log-linear relationship between coffee consumption and subsequent risk of diabetes such that every additional cup of coffee consumed in a day was associated with a 7% reduction in the excess risk ofabetes relative risk after adjustment for potential confounders.
Herbal Medicine: Biomolecular and Clinical Aspects
Benzie Iff,Wachtel-Galor S +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present current scientific evidence of biomolecular effects of selected herbs and their relation to clinical outcome and promotion of human health, and also address the ethical challenges of using herbal medicine and its integration into modern, evidence-based medicine.

The potential role of green tea catechins in the prevention of the metabolic syndrome – A review
TL;DR: The majority of human epidemiological and intervention studies demonstrate beneficial effects of green tea or green tea extracts, rich in EGCG on weight management, glucose control and cardiovascular risk factors.

Homeostasis model assessment : insulin resistance and beta-cell function from fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations in man
TL;DR: The correlation of the model's estimates with patient data accords with the hypothesis that basal glucose and insulin interactions are largely determined by a simple feed back loop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary antioxidant flavonoids and risk of coronary heart disease: the Zutphen Elderly Study.
TL;DR: Flavonoids in regularly consumed foods may reduce the risk of death from coronary heart disease in elderly men and showed an inverse relation with incidence of myocardial infarction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyphenols: Chemistry, Dietary Sources, Metabolism, and Nutritional Significance
TL;DR: An overview of the nutritional effects of the main groups of polyphenolic compounds, including their metabolism, effects on nutrient bioavailability, and antioxidant activity, is offered, as well as a brief description of the chemistry ofpolyphenols and their occurrence in plant foods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circulating markers of inflammation and atherosclerosis.
TL;DR: It could be shown that the majority of the studies which had investigated the role of markers for systemic inflammation, such as CRP, leukocyte count, serum fibrinogen and different cytokines, found elevated levels in patients with atherosclerosis and especially so in those with an unstable coronary disease.

Coffee and Tea Intake and the Risk of Myocardial Infarction
Howard D. Sesso,John Michael Gaziano,John Michael Gaziano,Julie E. Buring,Julie E. Buring,C H Hennekens,C H Hennekens +6 more
TL;DR: Only tea was associated with a lower risk of myocardial infarction, and the odds ratio for drinking > or = 1 cup/day versus nondrinkers was 0.56.
