Eftersom blåbär innehåller både fiber och polyfenoler har de också blivit intressanta inom forskning kring tarmflora och metabolism. Forskare undersöker bland annat hur olika växtämnen bryts ner av bakterier i tarmen och vilka ämnen som då bildas i kroppen.

Inositols - energy, hormones and signaling
Inositols are increasingly appearing in supplements and may at first glance sound like yet another new concept in the nutritional world. But inositol is not new or exotic. It is a molecule that the body itself produces and uses every day – in cell membranes, in the brain and in the signaling pathways that control how cells respond to insulin and hormones. What makes inositols interesting is not their quick effects, but that they are part of the body's biological infrastructur
