Insights
Myricetin offers significant cardioprotective benefits, showing potential in preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and related complications. This natural compound demonstrates anti-hypertensive, anti-atherosclerotic, and anti-diabetic effects, supporting its clinical use.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Science
- Pharmacology
- Natural Products
Background:
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major global health concern, representing a leading cause of death worldwide.
- Myricetin has demonstrated promising protective effects against CVD in various in vitro and in vivo studies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review and synthesize existing literature on the protective roles of myricetin in preventing cardiovascular disease.
- To explore the potential mechanisms of action underlying myricetin's therapeutic benefits.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search was conducted, assessing studies published between 2009 and 2019.
- The review focused on identifying and analyzing the cardioprotective, anti-hypertensive, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-hyperglycemic, and anti-hyperlipidemic effects of myricetin.
Main Results:
- Myricetin exhibits multiple beneficial effects relevant to CVD prevention, including cardioprotection and blood pressure regulation.
- The compound also demonstrated anti-atherosclerotic, anti-hyperglycemic, and anti-hyperlipidemic properties.
- Myricetin may help alleviate complications associated with adult-onset diabetes, further contributing to CVD prevention.
Conclusions:
- Myricetin possesses a range of therapeutic benefits that collectively support its potential for the clinical prevention of cardiovascular disease.
- Further research into its mechanisms of action can bolster the evidence for its integration into CVD prevention strategies.
Abstract:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally, except Africa, and poses a severe health burden worldwide. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the protective effects of myricetin for preventing CVD. For this review, we have assessed the literature from 2009 to 2019 at home and abroad to uncover the protective roles of myricetin for preventing CVD. Myricetin exhibits cardioprotective, anti-hypertensive, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-hyperglycemic, and anti-hyperlipidemic effects. In addition, myricetin may alleviate some of the complications caused by adult-onset diabetes. The combined functions of myricetin allow for the prevention of CVD. This review describes the possible therapeutic benefits of myricetin, along with its potential mechanisms of action, to support the clinical use of the myricetin for the prevention of CVD.
