متن کاملAnti-carcinogenic effects of the flavonoid luteolin.
Luteolin is a flavonoid which is part of our daily nutrition in relatively low amounts (less than 1 mg/day).

Luteolin displays specific anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic effects, which can only partly be explained by its anti-oxidant and free radical scaveng...
