Action mechanism and cardiovascular effect of anthocyanins: a systematic review of animal and human studies

Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are an important cause of death worldwide. Anthocyanins are a subgroup of flavonoids found in berries, flowers, fruits and leaves. In epidemiological and clinical studies, these polyphenols have been associated with improved cardiovascular risk profiles as well as decreased comorbidities. Human intervention studies using berries, vegetables, parts of plants and cereals (either fresh or as juice) or purified anthocyanin-rich extracts have demonstrated significant improvements in lo… Show more

“…During the development of CVD, oxidative stress causes vascular inflammation. Vascular inflammation alters the levels of cellular total cholesterol (TC), LDL, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), as well as plasma malonaldehyde and other plasma enzymes (SOD, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase) levels [145]. These molecules are the prognostic markers for CVD, also called the plasma lipid profile and antioxidant biomarkers.…”

“…2 This activity is due to contain a number of phenolic hydroxyl groups attached to ring structures, which can exert antioxidant or radical scavenging activity through single electron or hydrogen atom donation. 3 AC has been associated with wide range of anti-neurodegenerative, 4 anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative activities, 3 and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). These potential health benefits had provoked an increasing demand for these compounds.…”

“…Polyphenols are natural compounds synthesized in plants as secondary metabolites, with antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties (D' Archivio et al, 2007;Shivashankara and Acharya, 2010;Ozcan et al, 2014;Surai, 2014;Reis et al, 2016). According to Bennick (2002), polyphenols appear as vegetal defense mechanism to survive against stress factors as predator's damages or microbial population attacks, including for the seeds protection during green stage to maturity.…”

“…It is well-known their benefic role for human health to prevent different type of cancer, cardiovascular and degenerative diseases (Scalbert et al, 2005;D' Archivio et al, 2007;Petti and Scully, 2009;Shivashankara and Acharya, 2010;Yang et al, 2012;Balekar et al, 2014;Amararathna et al, 2016;Reis et al, 2016). Furthermore, there were elaborated many studies with regard to the effects of polyphenols from vegetal sources in animal nutrition (Bennick, 2002;Brenes et al, 2010;Lipinski et al, 2017).…”
