(2013-04-29)This study investigated the association between flavonoid profiles of different cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata) varieties with anti-inflammatory properties as a possible benefit against inflammatory bowel disease. Cowpea, a ...
-
(2016-07-27)Cellular targets for the majority of dietary phytochemicals remain unknown, presenting a challenge for the understanding of how these dietary components provide health benefits. Recently a new methodology, drug affinity ...
-
(2015-04-30)Conventionally, NSAID has been proposed to have inhibitory action against COX and therefore has traditionally been used for treatment of acute and chronic inflammation. This study aims at exploring putative anti-inflammation ...
-
Apigenin and Naringenin Increase Apoptosis and Decrease Proliferation via Transcriptional Regulation (2014-11-26)Previous studies have shown that apigenin and naringenin (flavonoids) suppress colon carcinogenesis by inducing apoptosis and suppressing proliferation in rats. The goal of this thesis was to test the hypothesis that ...
-
