Summary:
Cellular mechanisms of health promoting substances in human diet. Resveratrol (from grape, berries, peanuts etc) and indoles from cruciferous vegetables. This includes indole-3-carbinol, N-methoxy-indole-3-carbinol and 4-methoxy-indole-3-carbinol). Their efficiency in modulating cell proliferation, cell morphology and cell adhesion are in focus and elucidation of the underlaying signaling mechanisms.
