This study is effective in my essay because it adds to my central question about if flavonoids have any other effects on the brain. The article brings up morin, flavonoids found in plants, that can be effective as a therapeutic drug for people who are suffering from diabetes and are receiving brain damage from it.   

“Morin is considered a potential therapeutic drug to have properties including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective in neurodegenerative diseases with very minimal toxicity even at higher dose usage”

The essay focuses on how the memory aspect of the brain is affected by flavonoids and can hinder dementia and how flavonoids might have many other effects on our brains. 

This article is effective in my essay because it provides another example of how flavonoids affect the brain. It also recites previous information that was already stated in my essay. 

“Flavonoids and their metabolites can cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB), which is made up of capillary endothelial cells and basement membrane, neuroglial membrane and glial podocytes, i.e., projections of astrocytes, and reach brain cells to reduce brain damage and alleviate neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive impairment”
