“…In addition to their antioxidant functions, polyphenols have numerous other biological activities, such as antihistamine activity, as well as anti-inflammatory, vasodilatory, and cardiovascular effects. , They are also implicated in the prevention of neurodegeneration, , prevention and senescence of cancer, , and bind to proteins such as caseins, inhibit enzymes such as telomerase, α-amylase, pepsin, trypsin, and lipase, among many others, and increase endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity by over 400% . Polyphenols also induce apoptosis in cellular studies, , the primary reason given for their cancer-preventive properties.…”
