Flavonoids in food and natural antioxidants in wine

D Lairon et al. Curr Opin Lipidol. 1999 Feb.

Abstract

Plant foodstuffs are an important source of a wide variety of flavonoids with protective properties on low-density lipoprotein oxidation as shown in vitro and in some human and animal experiments. Increasing information is available concerning the absorption and pharmacokinetics of these molecules, but their long-term protective effect on coronary heart disease still needs further investigation.
