In recent years, polar phenolic compounds have emerged as phytochemicals exhibiting pleiotropic actions such as anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, antimicrobial and primarily antioxidant. In addition, dietary habits based on high consumption of foods rich in polar phenols, such as the Mediterranean Diet, are associated with a significant reduction in the prevalence of age-related diseases linked to inflammation and oxidative stress, such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, etc. The manifestation of local actions of polar phenols as well as the investigation of their absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion are current areas of research interest. These studies aim to gain a deeper understanding of how polar phen...
