Abstract

Iron plays an important role in many essential biochemical processes of the human body, but many studies show that the imbalance of iron homeostasis is closely related to the occurrence of multiple diseases in the body. Based on the pathogenesis of imbalanced iron homeostasis and the structural characteristics of flavonoids chelating iron, this paper summarizes the research progress of iron homeostasis and flavonoids in its regulation, in order to provide a reference for the development of flavonoids as drugs for preventing the imbalance of iron homeostasis.
