In acute myocardial infarction (AMI) the first line of treatment is to rapidly restore blood flow to the ischemic myocardium to limit infarct size. It is now well established that though clearly beneficial the positive outcomes of this intervention are limited by injury in response to the
Oxidative stress, activation of intracellular protein kinases and cardiomyocyte apoptosis are known mediators of cardiac ischaemia/reperfusion injury. The sites at which NP202, a novel water soluble pro-drug of 3',4'-dihydroxyflavonol (DiOHF), acts in this cascade to cause cardioprotection are
1 The antioxidant properties of flavonols in vivo and their potential benefits in myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury have been little investigated. We evaluated the ability of a synthetic flavonol, 3',4'-dihydroxyflavonol (DiOHF) to scavenge superoxide in post-I/R myocardium and to
Flavonols and flavones are antioxidant polyphenolic compounds found in tea, vegetables, fruits, and wine. In experimental studies they have been effective free radical scavengers, metal chelators, and antithrombotic agents. In the few epidemiologic studies of these agents, some have suggested an
Flavonoids are non-nutritive compounds of plants that have been intensively investigated during the past years due to their possible protective effects against chronic diseases. In vitro studies were able to demonstrate for flavonols, flavones, and most recently also for anthocyanins a considerable
OBJECTIVE
As intake of flavonoids has been associated with reduced risk of coronary heart disease but data on the relation with specific classes of flavonoids are scarce, we assessed the relation between dietary intake of specific classes of flavonoids and the risk of acute myocardial infarction
Dietary flavonols and flavones are subgroups of flavonoids that have been suggested to decrease the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). The authors prospectively evaluated intakes of flavonols and flavones in relation to risk of nonfatal myocardial infarction and fatal CHD in the Nurses' Health
Shuxuening injection (SXNI), one of the pharmaceutical preparations of Ginkgo biloba extract, has significant effects on both ischemic stroke and heart diseases from bench to bedside. Its major active ingredients are ginkgo flavonol glycosides (GFGs) and ginkgolides (GGs). We have previously
BACKGROUND
Epidemiologic studies suggest that tea consumption may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, but results are inconsistent. Catechins, which belong to the flavonoid family, are the main components of tea and may be responsible for the alleged protective effect. Taking catechin
Prognostic models are used to predict outcome in stroke patients and to stratify treatment groups in clinical trials. No one has previously attempted to use such models in stroke recovery studies in animals. We have now shown the predictive value of assigning stroke severity ratings, based on
OBJECTIVE
Antioxidants may protect against atherosclerosis and thus prevent cerebrovascular disease. We studied the association between dietary antioxidants and subtypes of stroke.
METHODS
The study cohort consisted of 26 593 male smokers, aged 50 to 69 years, without a history of stroke. They were
BACKGROUND
Despite emerging evidence of the role of flavonoids in cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention, the association remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE
We examined whether flavonoids and selected flavonols and flavones or their food sources are associated with CVD risk.
METHODS
Women (n = 38 445) free
DiOHF (3',4'-dihydroxyflavonol) is cardioprotective against I/R (ischaemia/reperfusion) injury. The biological activities of flavonols are associated with kinase modulation to alter cell signalling. We thus investigated the effects of DiOHF on the activation of MAPKs (mitogen-activated protein
BACKGROUND
Early reperfusion of the blocked vessel is critical to restore the blood flow to the ischemic myocardium to salvage myocardial tissue and improve clinical outcome. This reperfusion strategy after a period of ischemia, however, may elicit further myocardial damage named myocardial
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury mainly occurs following hepatic resection and liver transplantation and cause severe liver damage, organ injuries, and dysfunction. Pro-inflammatory cytokines that promote injury are released when kupffer cell activates after getting induced by I/R.
