Resveratrol Demonstrates Power

Resveratrol’s amazing power to prevent or reverse damage from a cardiovascular event is substantiated by the many animal studies conducted by many different research groups around the world. Canadian researchers found resveratrol could reduce rat cardiac cell hypertrophy, by blocking inflammatory signals. This was the success achieved by a group of Korean scientist using resveratrol to defend heart cells from free radical caused death. Chinese cardiologists used resveratrol to avoid death of rat cardiac cells by activating sirtuin enzymes, thus preventing the remodeling of heart muscle contributing to congestive heart failure after a heart attack. These results are being obtained by many labs around the world. Read the rest of this entry »

Quercetin Acts To Regulate Gene – Heart Health

A new study has disclosed that the bioflavonoid quercetin plays a role in controlling a gene which protects LDL cholesterol oxidation.

Gene Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) takes care of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from being involved in the oxidation process. The heart is protected from the oxidation process of LDL by the role PON1 plays by blocking cholesterol’s heart damaging process. PON1 is a major anti-atherosclerotic protein component of the positive cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Read the rest of this entry »
