Despite extensive studies, the fundamental mechanisms responsible for the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases have not yet been fully elucidated. Recent experimental and clinical studies have suggested that reactive oxygen species play a major pathological role. Oxidative stress reduction induced by flavonoids has been regarded by many as the most likely mechanism in the protective effects of these compounds; however, there is an emerging view that flavonoids may also exert…

Therapeutic potential of quercetin as a cardiovascular agent.

Quercetin Reduces Inflammatory Responses in LPS-Stimulated Cardiomyoblasts

The results suggest that Q might serve as a valuable protective agent in cardiovascular inflammatory diseases.

Modulation of phase II enzymes by sulforaphane: implications for its cardioprotective potential.

The potential cardioprotective action of sulforaphane was confirmed by the decrease in intracellular reactive oxygen species production, the increase in cell viability, and the decreases in DNA fragmentation after long-term treatment accompanied by the induction of antioxidants and phase II enzymes in cardiomyocytes.

Dietary quercetin supplementation increases serum antioxidant capacity and alters hepatic gene expression profile in rats

The microarray analysis revealed that some hepatic genes involved in phase 2 reaction, metabolism of cholesterol and homocysteine, and energy production were expressed differentially in response to quercetin administration, providing a molecular basis for the elucidation of the actions played by quercETin in vivo.

Quercetin accumulates in nuclear structures and triggers specific gene expression in epithelial cells.

Effects of nutritional antioxidants on AAPH- or AGEs-induced oxidative stress in human SW872 liposarcoma cells

The differential protective effects of plant nutrients toward adipose cells subjected to oxidative stress shows a novel antioxidant role for caffeic acid and quercetin at the adipose tissue level and confirms the beneficial role of phytotherapy as an interesting alternative mean for the development of novel therapeutical and nutritional strategy to prevent metabolic disorders inherent to obesity-linked diabetes.

Quercetin offers cardioprotection against progression of experimental autoimmune myocarditis by suppression of oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress via endothelin-1/MAPK signalling

Data is provided to support the role of quercetin in protecting the hearts of the rats with post myocarditis DCM by showing significant suppression of the myocardial endothelin-1 and also the mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) suggesting that the protection offered by quercETin treatment against progression of EAM involves the modulation of MAPK signalling cascade.

Effects of Polyphenols on Oxidative Stress-Mediated Injury in Cardiomyocytes

Current knowledge on the potential anti-oxidative effects of polyphenols to control the cardiotoxicity induced by ROS and RNS stress is reviewed.

Polyphenols as Modulators of Aquaporin Family in Health and Disease

This review offers an overview about the role of AQPs in brain, eye, skin diseases, and metabolic syndrome, focusing on the ability of polyphenols to modulate AQP expression.

Molecular Properties of Red Wine Compounds and Cardiometabolic Benefits

The main chemical components present in the wine, its interaction with molecules and biological mechanisms, and their interference with intra- and extracellular signaling are reviewed and the properties of wine that may benefit cardiovascular system are revised.
