Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on the role that plant-derived chemical compounds such as Polyphenols, Carotenoids, Glucosinolates, Flavonoids, Alkaloids, Isoflavones, Beta-carotene, Phytosterols, Anthocyanidins, Catechins, Terpenoids, etc., could play in cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment. Although they are generally not considered essential nutrients for human health, they have potential benefits through their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties. This Special Issue will specifically focus on harnessing these compounds for the prevention and treatment of heart and circulatory diseases. This issue will cover their modes of action, efficacy, and any trials on their use in the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Studies with animal or human models of cardiovascular diseases, as well as mechanistic studies with cells and tissues that demonstrate potential, are welcome for submission.
Dr. Nelson N. Orie
Guest Editor
