Effects of Cornelian Cherry on Atherosclerosis and Its Risk Factors

Figure 1

Effects of Cornelian cherry- (CC-) derived polyphenols on the atherosclerotic process. CC-derived polyphenols lead to the decrease of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), monocyte chemokine protein 1 (MCP1), P-selectin, apolipoprotein B (apoB), vascular cell adhesion protein 1 (VCAM-1), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), and total cholesterol (CH) and the increase of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR α), apolipoprotein A, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx).
