Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The present Special Issue is entitled “Plant Phenolic Compounds: Therapeutic Potential and Action Mechanisms”. Phenolic compounds have their origin in the plant world, being one of the main secondary metabolites of plants. These bioactive compounds are widely known for their antioxidant, estrogenic, and antimicrobial properties. For this reason, there is an increasing interest, at present, in understanding the potential impact of these molecules on human health. The contributions to this Special Issue will focus on different aspects of plant phenols and polyphenols, whether they are pure compounds or present in certain foods, including their therapeutic potential at different levels of the organism, their role in disease prevention, as well as the elucidation of the mechanisms of action involved in their beneficial effects on human health. This Special Issue also invites submissions of studies that establish the preventive effects of polyphenols for human and animal models. Both original papers and review articles describing the therapeutic potential of phenolic compounds are welcome.
