Effects of dietary phytophenols on the expression of microRNAs involved in mammalian cell homeostasis

Abstract excerpt

Besides synthesizing nutritive substances (proteins, fats and carbohydrates) for energy and growth, plants produce numerous non-energetic so-called secondary metabolites (mainly polyphenols) that allow them to protect themselves against infections and other types of hostile environments.
