1 shared condition · 16 outcomes
Vitamin A describes a group of metabolites involved in cell and tissue growth, and several bodily functions, including vision, bone metabolism, and immune function. Vitamin A metabolites include preformed vitamin A — retinols, retinals, retinyl esters, and retinoic acids — and precursors (i.e., provitamin A molecules) like beta-carotene, which can be converted by the body into the other forms of vitamin A.
Resveratrol
1 shared condition · 318 outcomes
Resveratrol is a bioactive molecule found in plant sources such as grapes, peanuts, blueberries, and, famously, red wine. Resveratrol has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that benefit cardiovascular function, glycemic control, and lipid metabolism. Although it’s promoted for lifespan extension, there’s no evidence for this in humans and limited evidence in animals.
Luteolin
1 shared condition · 6 outcomes
Luteolin is a flavone found in celery, parsley, broccoli, chamomile, and peppers. It exhibits potent anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and mast cell-stabilizing properties. Open-label pilot study (n=50, 26 weeks): Luteolin formulation significantly improved adaptive functioning in children with ASD (P<0.005) with 26.6-34.8% reduction in Aberrant Behavior Checklist scores. Meta-analysis (n=441): PEA+luteolin combination improved post-COVID olfactory dysfunction. More potent than cromolyn at inhibiting mast cell mediator release (histamine, tryptase, IL-6, TNF). Preclinical evidence supports neuroprotective effects in AD, PD, and TBI models via NF-κB inhibition and Nrf2 activation.
