Conclusion: The discovery of the beneficial effects of these natural active compounds in POL supports the idea that POL could be a promising novel candidate for the treatment and prevention of inflammation-related cancers of the digestive system. However, clinical data describing the mode of action of the naturally active compounds of POL are still lacking. In addition, pharmacokinetic data for POL compounds, such as changes in drug dose and absorption rates, cannot be extrapolated from animal models and need to be measured in patients in clinical trials. On the one hand, a systematic meta-analysis of the

Conclusion: Through rigorous experimental validation, our study demonstrates AS's significant clinical efficacy in managing DN. Specifically, AS has been shown to enhance renal function, ameliorate renal fibrosis, and positively influence iron metabolism. Despite these promising outcomes, future research with a larger sample size must be conducted to further substantiate these findings.
PubMed 40015687 ↗Conclusion: We furthermore discuss the implications for selected phytochemicals to interfere in thrombosis and hemostasis, indicating their possible clinical relevance. Lastly, we provide guidance on which compounds are of interest for further platelet-related research.
PubMed 34715717 ↗Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that apigenin, through reducing cell viability, inducing growth inhibition, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest, and also by decreasing the tumor size, can be considered as a possible adjuvant agent in the management of colorectal adenocarcinoma. However, further in vivo studies are needed before any efforts to translate the current evidence into clinical studies.
