Polyphenols in Foods and Their Impact on Human Health and Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Polyphenols, abundant in a wide variety of plant-based foods such as vegetables, fruits, and beverages, have attracted significant attention due to their potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. As well as these well-known benefits, they influence a broad spectrum of physiological processes, playing a critical role in combating lifestyle-related diseases.

However, many aspects of polyphenols and their physiological effects remain unexplored, presenting an exciting opportunity to uncover new insights into their potential for improving health and preventing disease.

For this Special Issue, we invite researchers from diverse disciplines to contribute original studies and reviews that explore the intricate mechanisms and effects of polyphenols. We welcome investigations employing in vitro, in vivo, and human clinical models that delve into the connections between polyphenol-rich diets and human health.

We invite you to join us in advancing this vital area of research and sharing findings that could pave the way for innovative approaches to health and wellness.

Dr. Akiko Kojima-Yuasa
