Cardio-Protecting Effect of Natural Bioactive Compound (Polyphenol) by Inhibiting LDL Oxidation with the Scavenging of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)

Emili Manna and Smarajit Maiti

Reduction in plasma low-density lipoprotein is a fundamental treatment for the prevention of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Oxidization of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles leads to formation of atherosclerotic lesions and increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) via a complex cascade of biochemical events occurring mostly within the arterial wall. The major advantage of drug those are treating with hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemias to reduce the CVD morbidity and mortality are well established. However, the epidemiological evidences support that ingestion of certain foods in regular diet chart results to a reduction in of myocardial infarction markers and other CVD. Many reviews supported that the dietary antioxidants pertained to LDL oxidation and to vascular endothelial dysfunction. Polyphenol consumption is beneficial to maintain the plasma LDL level. This short commentary emphasising on health aspect depending on the published literature, which may provide some guidance for researchers in further investigations of cardiovascular health agents
