Polyphenols in the Mediterranean Diet: From Dietary Sources to microRNA Modulation

It is now well established that polyphenols are a class of natural substance that offers numerous health benefits; they are present in all plants in very different quantities and types. On the other hand, their bioavailability, and efficacy is are not always well proven. Therefore, this work aims to...
