The health-promoting properties of chokeberry fruit have been confirmed in numerous scientific studies. It has been shown that the consumption of these fruits, due to the high content of bioactive compounds, has beneficial effects in neurodegenerative diseases, in addition to having hypolipemic, hypotensive, hypoglycemic, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, different conditions and methods of fruit cultivation, as well as methods of juice and fiber production, may result in a high content of toxic substances, which reduce the health value of chokeberry products.

Children with familial hypercholesterolemia have very high total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels in blood which may result in endothelial dysfunction and increase in carotid intima-media thickness. When untreated in childhood, familial hypercholesterolemia is associated with a premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in adulthood. According to the results of clinical studies in children with familial hypercholesterolemia conducted in the last two decades, as well as statements of American Heart Association (AHA), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and Polish Statement called Stanowisko Ekspertów Lipidowych, the recommendations of treatment were published.

Numerous studies have shown that statin therapy initiated early after heart transplantation improves the short- and long-term prognosis, leading to a reduction in the incidence of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV), acute rejection episodes and significantly lowers the incidence of cancer in this patient population. The molecular mechanisms responsible for the beneficial effects of statins in patients after heart transplantation are complex; the effectiveness of statins is associated not only with their hypolipemic action, but also with their pleiotropic properties. Statins have been shown to exert protective and therapeutic effects against cancer because they act as antiproliferative agents, promoting apoptosis and inhibiting angiogenesis.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity are diseases of epidemic proportions. Long-term realistic weight loss by nonsurgical methods has a variable effect on glycemic control, and only a proportion of patients with T2DM have a worthwhile response. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has been proposed as an advantageous bariatric procedure for patients with a lower body mass index (BMI).

Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world, second only to water. Most laypersons and scientists believe that green tea is healthier than black tea due to the low incidence of heart disease and cancer in the Orient. Here, we report the first dose-response comparison of a green and black tea on normal hamsters after long-term supplementation and on a hamster model of atherosclerosis.
