Abstract
Chronic inflammation is a key contributor to the development and progression of numerous chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and obesity. As the side effects of conventional anti-inflammatory drugs pose challenges, plant-derived compounds have emerged as promising alternatives due to their potent anti-inflammatory properties and minimal adverse effects. This review explores the molecular mechanisms by which these compounds alleviate chronic inflammation and highlights their potential role in disease prevention. Polyphenols (e.g., quercetin and resveratrol), flavonoids (e.g., luteolin and apigenin), carotenoids (e.g., β-carotene and…
