Variations in flavonoid metabolism as an explanation for inter-individual differences in physiological responses to flavonoid-rich foods

心脏病是澳大利亚的主要死因。富含类黄酮的植物性食物已被证明对心脏健康有益。然而，似乎有些人比其他人受益更多，最有可能是由于类黄酮分解的差异。我的研究重点是探索类黄酮分解如何影响心脏健康的改善。我希望将增加类黄酮摄入量的建议纳入膳食指南，作为减少澳大利亚心脏病的一种方式。

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Australia. Plant foods, rich in flavonoids, have been shown to be beneficial for heart health. However, it appears as though some people benefit more than others, most likely due to differences in flavonoid breakdown. My research focus is to explore how flavonoid breakdown affects improvements in heart health. I hope to include recommendations to increase flavonoid intake into dietary guidelines as a way of reducing heart disease in Australia.
