Molecular mechanisms for polyphenol functionality

Polyphenols are found in a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and teas that we regularly consume. "Polyphenol" is general term for family compounds with multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups (hydroxyl attached to the benzene ring), about 8,000 species have been identified so far. becoming widely recognized society due their promising health benefits, such as preventive effects against obesity cardiovascular diseases. To understand how polyphenols exert benefits from molecular viewpoint, researchers food nutrition fields elucidating various biochemical biological activities exhibited by themselves. It has pointed out generally poorly absorbable therefore unlikely be taken up body or reach organs native form. The mechanisms which express functions vivo include direct interaction receptor proteins, action polyphenol metabolites, on intestinal bacterial fermentation. In this paper, I will not only outline types chemical characteristics polyphenols, but also explain behavior along potential health-promoting effects.
