Article Synopsis
- - Anthocyanins (ACNs) are natural compounds found in fruits that give them red to blue colors, with cyanidin-3-glucoside (Cy3G) being a common type; however, its levels in raspberries and strawberries are relatively low.
- - Cy3G has a strong ability to scavenge certain free radicals and undergoes various metabolic transformations in the body, which leads to low absorption rates and the production of key metabolites like protocatechuic acid.
- - Research shows that Cy3G has several health benefits, such as protecting DNA, reducing inflammation, and potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases like cardiovascular issues and type 2 diabetes through mechanisms like radical scavenging and enzyme inhibition.
The PROP phenotype (6-n-propylthiouracil) has been proposed as indicator of body mass index, adiposity and food intake. This relationship among variables is contradictory. No correlation has been found among the PROP phenotype, body indicators and energy consumption in some studies.
