Cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of the death around the world. An elevation of the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. To achieve optimal plasma LDL-C levels, clinal therapies were investigated which targeted different metabolism pathways. However, some therapies also caused various adverse effects. Thus, there is a need for new treatment options and/or combination therapies to inhibit the LDL-C level. Dietary polyphenols have received much attention in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases due to their potential LDL-C lowering effects. However, the effectiveness and potential mechanisms of polyphenols in lowering LDL-C is not comprehensively summarized. This review focused on dietary polyphenols that could reduce LDL-C and their mechanisms of action. This review also discussed the limitations and suggestions regarding previous studies.
心血管疾病是全球主要的死亡原因。低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)水平升高是心血管疾病最重要的危险因素之一。为了实现最佳的血浆LDL-C水平,人们研究了针对不同代谢途径的临床治疗方法。然而,一些治疗方法也会引起各种不良反应。因此,需要新的治疗选择和/或联合疗法来抑制LDL-C水平。由于膳食多酚具有潜在的降低LDL-C的作用,它们在预防心血管疾病方面受到了广泛关注。然而,多酚降低LDL-C的有效性和潜在机制尚未得到全面总结。本综述重点关注了可降低LDL-C的膳食多酚及其作用机制。本综述还讨论了以往研究的局限性和建议。
