Review of the flavonoids quercetin, hesperetin, and naringenin. Dietary sources, bioactivities, bioavailability, and epidemiology
I Erlund - Nutrition research, 2004 - Elsevier
The bioactivities, dietary sources, bioavailability, metabolism, and epidemiology of 3
flavonoids, quercetin, hesperetin, and naringenin, are reviewed. The use of their plasma
concentrations as biomarkers of dietary intake is also discussed. The compounds were
chosen because of their significant dietary intakes and promising bioactivities, and in the
case of quercetin, because epidemiological studies suggest protection against
cardiovascular disease.
