Flavones (Apigenin, Luteolin, Chrysin) and Their Importance for Health

It has been shown in recent years that foods called functional foods may protect against certain types of cancer against cardiovascular diseases and cognitive dysfunctions. In the studies performed, the flavo-noids (apigenin, chrysin, luteolin) which are subclass of flavonoids have been shown to have antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antiallergic, neuroprotective and cardioprotective effects and it is presented as the cur-rent treatment method in the treatment of some diseases. The structure function, nutritional resources and potential therapeutic properties of the flavones, which are also used as supplement in the compost, have been studied. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the therapeutic effects of flavones in certain dise-ases. The positive effect of flavones on health can be proven in many experimental studies and can be proven in the long run.
