木脂素是一组天然存在的化合物，富含于各种植物性食品中，由于其潜在的健康益处而变得越来越受欢迎。文献表明，这些生物活性物质可以降低患某些类型癌症的风险，例如绝经后结肠癌和乳腺癌。此外，木脂素对于改善心血管健康的重要性已得到认可，因为研究表明木脂素的摄入与降低心血管疾病风险之间存在潜在相关性。这些复杂的分子具有多种生物活性能力，使其成为预防慢性疾病的潜在替代品。需要进一步的研究来检验其有益结果的机制。最近的研究强调了木脂素作为对人类健康有效的物质的药理学特性。在饮食中加入富含木脂素的食物可能是增强预防心血管疾病和恶性肿瘤等危及生命的疾病的实用方法。版权所有© Bentham Science Publishers；如有任何疑问，请发送电子邮件至 epub@benthamscience.net。

Lignans, a group of naturally occurring compounds abundant in various plant-based foods, are becoming increasingly popular due to their potential health benefits. The literature suggests that these bioactive substances can reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, such as postmenopausal colon and breast cancer. Moreover, the significance of lignans for improving cardiovascular health has been recognized, as studies have revealed a potential correlation between the intake of lignans and a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. These complex molecules possess diverse bioactive capabilities, rendering them potential alternatives for preventing chronic diseases. Further research is needed to examine the mechanisms responsible for their beneficial outcomes. Recent research has emphasized the pharmacological properties of lignans as effective substances for human health. Incorporating foods rich in lignans into the diet may be a practical approach to enhancing protection against life-threatening ailments, such as cardiovascular diseases and malignancies.Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epub@benthamscience.net.
