Antioxidant and Cytoprotective Properties of Polyphenol-Rich Extracts from and against Atherogenic Lipids in Human Endothelial Cells.

The endothelial integrity is the cornerstone of the atherogenic process. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation occurring within atheromatous plaques leads to deleterious vascular effects including endothelial cell cytotoxicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the vascular antioxidant and cytoprotective effects of polyphenol-rich extracts from two medicinal plants from the Reunion Island: , .
