One of the best-studied defense responses to fungal infection in Norway spruce (Picea abies) is the biosynthesis of flavan-3-ols, which accumulate as monomers or polymers known as proanthocyanidins. The individual flavan-3-ol units consist of compounds with a 3',4'-dihydroxylated B ring
Flavan-3-ols are the major flavonoids present in tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves. These are known to have antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties in vitro. Flavanone 3-hydroxylase is considered to be an important enzyme of flavonoid pathway leading to accumulation of flavan-3-ols in tea.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides and the failure of mechanisms to clear toxic aggregates. The Aβ42 peptide is considered to be a causative factor that underlies the pathophysiology of AD, in part due to
