Talk:Apigenin

anti-aromatase

It is also claimed to be a potent anti-aromatase, which prevents the conversion of testosterone into estrogen. Can someone find/add info with citations on this?

Apigenin: "In addition to parsley, celery and artichokes, you'll find it in apples, cherries, grapes, chamomile tea and wine, and in herbs such as tarragon, cilantro, licorice, spearmint, basil and oregano".

Please, try to find out how MUCH apigenin these contain. Do you get optimal amount from wine and apples, for example? Can you get too much?

These reviews are meant for readers who would like to delve deeper into the subject. The reviews are placed in the “further reading” – section because the Wikipedia guideline for this section read: “… publications that would help interested readers learn more about the article subject. The Further reading section (…) should normally not duplicate the content of the References section” (WP:FURTHER).

The Wikipedia content guideline for “Identifying reliable sources (medicine)” (WP:MEDRS) read: “It is usually best to use reviews and meta-analyses where possible.”

The reviews in question reflect the latest research (last 10 years) in the field, they are scholarly and peer-reviewed, and they are published in academic journals. Granateple (talk) 23:03, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

How about adding a fresher review, e.g. Induction of Cancer Cell Death by Apigenin: A Review on Different Cell Death Pathways | Bentham Science "It lists a few confirmed ways Apigenin kills the cancer cells, stating "However, the frequency of each cell death pathway may be influenced by the cell type."

Article error?

The last two structures in the synthesis path look the same to me. Keith Henson (talk) 19:32, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Chamomile

"dried chamomile flower about 3–5 mg/gram" seems wrong to me, I've removed it. The cited source - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5791748 - ultimately references https://www.ars.usda.gov/ARSUserFiles/80400525/Data/Flav/Flav_R03.pdf for the numbers, which doesn't contain any data on chamomile. Other articles like https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25598797/ quote very different and much wider ranges like 40-740mg/100g. Ivanktw (talk) 23:34, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
