Plant Flavonoid Apigenin, Suppressed Occurrence of Asthma and Other Allergies in Mice

Filed in archive Studies , Treatment by Gloria Gamat on July 26, 2006

A new Japanese research study conducted on mice revealed that a plant flavonoid called apigenin, found in herbs, fruits and vegetables, suppressed the levels of an immune system antibody linked to asthma and other allergies.

Study results suggest that an apigenin-rich diet can potentially protect and/or reduce the occurrence of asthma and other allergies associated with the immunoglobulin E (IgE).

But since apigenin-rich foods like celery and parsley are often associated with adverse food reactions, the benefits of the flavonoid could well better be obtained from supplements.

The flavonoid apigenin can be found in a variety of foods including apples, beans, broccoli, celery, cherries, grapes, leeks, onions, parsley and tomatoes, as well as plant-derived beverages like tea and wine.
