Abstract:
Numerous studies indicate a wide range of possible health benefits from consumption of dietary polyphenols, including resveratrol and genistein. These effects include suppression of cancers, antioxidant functions and protection from diet-induced obesity. Previous research in the laboratory using the mouse 3T3-L1 adipocyte model revealed that resveratrol affected the expression of genes involved in lipogenesis. I proposed that genistein, which has some structural similarity to resveratrol and, like resveratrol, can act through the estrogen receptor (ER), would have the same actions. However, I

Phase II metabolism of aspalathin and mangiferin, the major polyphenols of rooibos and honeybush respectively, was assessed for potential glucuronidation and sulphation. Glucuronidation resulted in a loss of antioxidant activity for aspalathin and mangiferin in post-column HPLC-DAD-DPPH• and HPLC-DAD-ABTS•+

Abstract:
Tea consumption has been suggested to have beneficial effects for human health, especially in cancer prevention. At present, epidemiological evidence of the protective effect of tea consumption against the development of human cancer is not conclusive. Interpretation of epidemiological data and extrapolation of rodent data to humans are generally hampered by inadequate information on the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of tea constituents. We have performed studies to determine the pharmacokinetics of green tea in humans after single and multiple oral dose administration of tea polyphenol

Angiogenesis is one of the essential hallmarks of cancer, typically breast cancer.

Iron is central to the aetiology of gastrointestinal disease. Specifically, the toxic effects of excess, unabsorbed "luminal" iron ingested from the diet has been shown to be important in the development of inflammatory bowel disease and intestinal cancer. A platform for therapeutic intervention is likely to involve chelation of this luminal pool of iron. As such, a range of dietary iron chelators have been tested for their iron binding capacity. Natural biopolymers extracted from seaweed (alginates) and a variety of natural polyphenolic compounds were stratified in terms of their iron binding
