The beneficial effects of dietary flavonoids : sources, bioavailability and biological functions
Spencer, Jeremy P. E.; Vauzour, David; Vafeiadou, Katerina; Rodriguez-Mateos, Ana (CAB International, 2008) -
The citrus flavanone naringenin inhibits inflammatory signalling in glial cells and protects against neuroinflammatory injury
Vafeiadou, Katerina; Vauzour, David; Lee, Hung Yi; Rodriguez-Mateos, Ana; Williams, Robert J.; Spencer, Jeremy P. E. (2009-04-01)Neuroinflammation plays an integral role in the progression of neurodegeneration. In this study we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of different classes of flavonoids (flavanones, flavanols and anthocyanidins) ... -
Glial metabolism of quercetin reduces its neurotoxic potential
Vafeiadou, Katerina; Vauzour, David; Rodriguez-Mateos, Ana; Whiteman, Matthew; Williams, Robert J.; Spencer, Jeremy P. E. (2008-10-15)The neuroprotective effects of flavonoids will ultimately depend on their interaction with both neuronal and glial cells. In this study, we show that the potential neurotoxic effects of quercetin are modified by glial cell ... -
The neuroprotective potential of flavonoids : a multiplicity of effects
Vauzour, David; Vafeiadou, Katerina; Rodriguez-Mateos, Ana; Rendeiro, Catarina; Spencer, Jeremy P. E. (2008-12)Flavonoids exert a multiplicity of neuroprotective actions within the brain, including a potential to protect neurons against injury induced by neurotoxins, an ability to suppress neuroinflammation, and the potential to ... -
Peroxynitrite induced formation of the neurotoxins 5-S-cysteinyl-dopamine and DHBT-1 : implications for Parkinson's disease and protection by polyphenols
Vauzour, David; Ravaioli, Giulia; Vafeiadou, Katerina; Rodriguez-Mateos, Ana; Angeloni, Cristina; Spencer, Jeremy P. E. (2008-08-15)Mechanisms of nigral cell injury in Parkinson's disease remain unclear, although a combination of increased oxidative stress, the formation of catecholamine-quinones and the subsequent formation of neurotoxic cysteinyl-c ...
