Effects and Mechanisms of Fruit and Vegetable Juices
on Cardiovascular Diseases
Many studies have indicated that consumption of vegetables and fruits are positively related to lower incidence of several chronic noncommunicable diseases. Although composition of fruit and vegetable juices is different from that of the edible portion of fruits and vegetables, they contain polyphenols and vitamins from fruits and vegetables. Drinking vegetable and fruit juices is very popular in many countries, ...

Cardiovascular risk associated with high
sodium-containing drugs: A systematic review
Background
Excess dietary sodium is associated with increased blood pressure (BP). Some drugs
are associated with high sodium intake (in particular effervescent tablets), but the cardiovascular risk associated with such high sodium-containing drugs (HSCD) is largely underevaluated.
Objectives
To summarize the evidence for a potential cardiovascular risk associated with exposure to HSCD, and to highlight ...

Sedentary lifestyle is associated with
metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors
independent of physical activity
Background: Sedentary behavior is a main risk factor for cardiovascular
disease and mortality. Aim: To investigate the association between
sedentary behavior and metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors.
Material and Methods: We assessed 322 participants aged between 18 to 65 years. Physical activity and sedentary behavior were measured with
accelerometers (Actigraph®). ...

Hydroxytyrosol in the Prevention of the Metabolic
Syndrome and Related Disorders
Virgin olive oil (VOO) constitutes the main source of fat in the Mediterranean diet. VOO is rich in oleic acid, displaying health-promoting properties, but also contains minor bioactive components, especially phenolic compounds. Hydroxytyrosol (HT), the main polyphenol of olive oil, has been reported to be the most bioactive component. This review aims to compile the results of clinical, animal and cell culture ...

A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled
Trials and Prospective Cohort Studies of
Eicosapentaenoic and Docosahexaenoic
Long-Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids and
Coronary Heart Disease Risk
Objective: To conduct meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to estimate the effect of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid (EPAþDHA) on coronary heart disease (CHD), and to conduct meta-analyses of prospective cohort studies to estimate the association between EPAþDHA intake and CHD ...

Resveratrol Ameliorates Arterial Stiffness Assessed
by Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index in Patients
With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Resveratrol has been reported to have potent anti-atherosclerotic effects in animal studies. However, there are few interventional studies in human patients with atherosclerogenic diseases. The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) reflects
arterial stiffness and is a clinical surrogate marker of atherosclerosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect ...

Omega-3 Fatty Acid Could Increase One of Myokines in Male
Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: A Randomized,
Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
Background: Omega-3 fatty acids have a protective role against cardiovascular disease and these protective properties are attributed to its anti-inflammatory effects. Myokines have anti-inflammatory properties and thereby reduce low-grade inflammation. Irisin, as a myokine is considered to be therapeutic for human metabolic diseases. This study ...

The Role of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in
Heart Failure: A Meta-Analysis of Randomised
Controlled Trials
Many new clinical trials about the effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in heart failure (HF) patients have shown inconsistent results. Therefore, a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) was performed to determine the benefits of omega-3 PUFAs in HF patients. Articles were obtained from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. RCTs comparing ...
