Cardiovascular disease constitutes a major public health concern in industrialized nations. Over recent decades, a large body of evidence has accumulated indicating that oxidative stress induced free radicals play a critical role in cellular processes implicated in atherosclerosis and many other heart diseases. However a diet high in antioxidants is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. The compound quercetin is a dietary antioxidant with a polyphenolic structure that is…

The Effect of Quercetin on Plasma Oxidative Status, C-Reactive Protein and Blood Pressure in Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis

In this study, quercetin had no effect on oxidative and inflammatory status of plasma and blood pressure in patients with RA and further studies are needed to ensure the effect of quercETin on oxidative stress and inflammation in human.

Study of antioxidant activity of liposomal forms of quercetin and curcumin in ischemic heart disease

The complex of the two antioxidants showed the synergistic effect of their lipophilic compounds in liposomal forms, which led to the normalization of test parameters according to the level of the control sample, and demonstrated the antioxidant activity of monopreparations of curcumin and quercetin and their complex in lipOSomal forms.

Application of quercetin-O-glucoside derivative to treatment of lipid metabolism disorders

Through in vitro and in vivo pharmacological activity study, the quercetin-O-glucoside derivative can play a role in reducing the lipid in the in vivo and in vitro experiments and provides a drug composition for treating lipid metabolism disorders.

Flavonoids protect LDL from oxidation and attenuate atherosclerosis

Plant flavonoids, as potent natural antioxidants that protect against lipid peroxidation in arterial cells and lipoproteins, significantly attenuate the development of atherosclerosis.

Dietary Polyphenols and the Prevention of Diseases

Experimental studies on animals or cultured human cell lines support a role of polyphenols in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, or osteoporosis, but no clear associations have been found between cancer risk and polyphenol consumption.

Polyphenols and prevention of cardiovascular diseases

Future intervention studies should include a detailed assessment of the bioavailability of polyphenols, and more studies with purepolyphenols will also be needed to establish their role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
