State of the art paper The cardioprotective power of leaves

Abstract: Lack of physical activity, smoking and/or inappropriate diet can contribute to the increase of oxidative stress, in turn affecting the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases. Strong anti-oxidant properties of plant polyphenolic compounds might underlie their cardioprotective activity. This paper reviews recent findings on the anti-oxidant activity of plant leaf extracts and emphasizes their effects on blood platelets, leukocytes and endothelial cells – the targets orchestrating the development and progress… Show more

“…When cells are exposed to reactive species, GSH are the first consumed antioxidants [37]. Notably is that phenolics have many important properties, as antioxidant [38] and anti-inflammatory properties [39]. Data from the present study revealed only the high dose of SAB powder expresses a significantly antioxidative protection in broiler liver.…”

“…This hypothesis might be helpful in avoiding misleading advertisement currently describing polyphenols as antiobesity agents. Nevertheless, the effects of polyphenols on cardiovascular risk seem to be more established (Dudzińska et al ., ). Therefore, it could be suggested that polyphenols can lower CVD risk by targeting components of the metabolic syndrome such as blood pressure and high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (Serban et al ., ; Santini and Novellino, ; Ganjali et al ., ; Patti et al ., ), while their implication in weight loss is less plausible.…”

“…On the other hand, the present results are in agreement with those reported by El-Soud et al (2006), who noted significant decreases in the levels of serum cholesterol of Japanese quail under heat stress that were fed diets containing 0.025%, 0.05%, and 0.1% acetylsalicylic acid. Dudzińska et al (2015) studied the hypercholesteraemic effect of willow bark and related it to its content of polyphenols. Tawfeek et al (2014) explained that during heat stress there was greater catabolic effect and concentration of adrenocorticotropic hormone yielding more triglycerides in broiler serum.…”
