Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flavonoids are a group of bioactive compounds widely found in plant-based foodstuffs known for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties. At the molecular level, their actions include antioxidant effects and the ability to modulate several key enzymatic pathways. The growing body of scientific evidence indicates that flavonoids play a beneficial role in disease management and prevention of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative conditions. However, there is an urgent need for further clinical and epidemiological trials.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest research on flavonoids’ molecular mechanisms, bioavailability, and clinical applications in chronic disease treatment. We invite original research articles and reviews that address topics such as flavonoid metabolism, their interaction with cellular pathways, and their role in modulating oxidative stress, inflammation, and immune responses. Additionally, we encourage studies examining the synergistic effects of flavonoids with other bioactive compounds, as well as their therapeutic potential.
The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive overview of flavonoids’ role in chronic disease management, offering insights into their future applications in therapeutic interventions.
