Abstract
Flavonoids are nutrients usually included in human diet with several significant biological activities. Nobiletin is a flavonoid that, besides having anti-inflammatory and anti-tumoral activity, seems to exert protective effects on cardiovascular system. Several studies investigated nobiletin as a natural drug to antagonize the atherosclerotic disease. On the contrary, literature about its potential role in modulating the main acute complication of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, is still scanty. Several studies have indicated that Tissue Factor (TF) plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular thrombotic events by triggering the formation of intracoronary thrombi. Oxidized-LDL have an important role in promoting athero-thrombotic events. This study investigates whether nobiletin might exert protective cardiovascular effects by preventing the oxidized-LDL mediated expression of TF in human endothelial cells in vitro. Moreover, we have studied whether the nobiletin effects might be modulated by the inhibition of the NF-κB pathway.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
