Diet and endothelial function: from individual components to dietary patterns.
54
TL;DR: The currently available evidence supports beneficial effects of various dietary compounds on endothelial function, however, in order to obtain strong evidence for relevant health effects that can be used for specific dietary recommendations, more long-term studies using well characterized diets/supplements in a large number of individuals are needed.

Abstract: Purpose of reviewEndothelial dysfunction plays an important role in development and progression of atherosclerosis and may also contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. This review summarizes recent findings on the effects of vitamin D, antioxidant vitamins, polyphenols, polyphenol-rich fo

Flavonoids as Anticancer Agents
TL;DR: Flavonoids have dual action regarding ROS homeostasis—they act as antioxidants under normal conditions and are potent pro-oxidants in cancer cells triggering the apoptotic pathways and downregulating pro-inflammatory signaling pathways.
Targeting vascular (endothelial) dysfunction
Andreas Daiber,Sebastian Steven,Alina Weber,Vladimir V. Shuvaev,Vladimir R. Muzykantov,Ismail Laher,Huige Li,Santiago Lamas,Thomas Münzel +8 more
TL;DR: Assessing vascular function, including that of smooth muscle and even perivascular adipose tissue, may be an appropriate parameter for clinical investigations, and alternative diagnostic parameters such as vascular stiffness index and intima/media thickness ratio are discussed.

Atherosclerosis — An Inflammatory Disease
TL;DR: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease as discussed by the authors, and it is a major cause of death in the United States, Europe, and much of Asia, despite changes in lifestyle and use of new pharmacologic approaches to lower plasma cholesterol concentrations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of dietary patterns on blood pressure were assessed in a clinical trial, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, where the subjects were fed a control diet that was low in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, with a fat content typical of the average diet in the United States.
Non-invasive detection of endothelial dysfunction in children and adults at risk of atherosclerosis
David S. Celermajer,Keld E. Sørensen,V.M. Gooch,David Spiegelhalter,Owen Miller,Ian D. Sullivan,J.K. Lloyd,John E. Deanfield +7 more
TL;DR: Endothelial dysfunction is present in children and adults with risk factors for atherosclerosis, such as smoking and hypercholesterolaemia, before anatomical evidence of plaque formation in the arteries studied, suggesting this may be an important early event in atherogenesis.
