Evidence for a protective effect of polyphenols-containing foods on cardiovascular health: an update for clinicians

Abstract: Growing evidence suggests that polyphenols could be serious candidates to explain the protective effects of plant-derived foods and beverages. Based on current studies, a general consensus has been achieved to sustain the hypothesis that the specific intake of foods and beverages containing relatively high concentrations of flavonoids may play a meaningful role in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk through an improvement in vascular function and a modulation of inflammation. This review aims at providi… Show more

“…They can be divided into 6 major subclasses as a function of the type of heterocycle involved: flavonols, flavones, isoflavones, flavanones, anthocyanidins, and flavanols, while those that are comparatively minor components of the diet are dihydroflavonols, flavan-3,4-diols, chalcones, dihydrochalcones and aurones [28]. The basic flavonoid skeleton can have numerous substituents.…”

“…Chemically, flavonols differ from many other flavonoids since they have a double bond between C2-C3 and a hydroxyl group (OH) in position three of the C-ring (3-hydroxyflavones) [28]. The majority of flavonols are present as O-glycosides.…”
