There is a strong relationship between serum cholesterol levels and cardiovascular diseases, especially between coronary artery disease and LDL-cholesterol (LDL).
LDL is the lipoprotein responsible for delivering cholesterol to cells. However, in recent years, special attention has been given to modified LDL, especially oxidized LDL, since it plays a very important role in the initiation and progression of the atheroma plaque.
There are environmental and genetic factors that can influence the type and levels of blood lipoproteins. Among the modulable factors (environmental) it has been observed that some phytochemical compounds found in several plant extracts may reduce cardiovascular risk, due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
The objective of the present study is to evaluate the possible effect of the intake of a combination of plant extracts (BSL_EP025) on the levels of LDL-cholesterol and oxidized LDL-cholesterol in healthy individuals with LDL-cholesterol levels between 100 and 190 mg/dL.
