Dietary Polyphenols & Nutrient Transport• Dietary polyphenols affect a number of nutrient
transport pathways: Glucose, Fe, Cu transport• Glucose uptake:
– Acute inhibition– Transcriptional &translational effect. No functional inhibition
• Iron transport: – Acute inhibition– Transcriptional effect & functional inhibition
• Copper uptake:– Acute transporter-specific enhancement– Transcriptional effects & transporter-specific enhancement
