Description

Presenting advances in the area of research into flavonoids, this work discusses the molecular, biochemical and physiological effects of flavonoids in vivo. It highlights the anticancer properties of flavonoids and investigates flavonoid influence on coronary heart disease. It also furnished evidence for the protective effects of dietary phytochemicals against chronic diseases.
