Quercetin, epigallocatechin gallate, curcumin, and resveratrol: from dietary sources to human microRNA modulation.
PMID: Molecules. 2019 Dec 23 ;25(1). Epub 2019 Dec 23. PMID: 31878082 Abstract Title: Quercetin, Epigallocatechin Gallate, Curcumin, and Resveratrol: From Dietary Sources to Human MicroRNA Modulation. Abstract: Epidemiologic studies suggest that dietary polyphenol intake is associated with a lower incidence of several non-communicable diseases. Although several foods contain complex mixtures of polyphenols, numerous factors …

High molecular weight beta glucan reduces total cholesterol in mildly hypercholesterolemic adults, the effect of which may be influenced by CYP7A1 genetic status.
PMID: J Nutr. 2016 04 ;146(4):720-7. Epub 2016 Mar 2. PMID: 26936139 Abstract Title: High-Molecular-Weightβ-Glucan Decreases Serum Cholesterol Differentially Based on the CYP7A1 rs3808607 Polymorphism in Mildly Hypercholesterolemic Adults. Abstract: BACKGROUND: β-Glucan, a soluble fiber with viscous property, has a documented cholesterol-lowering effect. The molecular weight (MW) of β-glucan, which contributes to viscosity, and an …
