| Research Abstract |
Citrus flavonoids such as eriodictyol and hesperetin inhibited monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells via suppressing adhesion molecules by NFkB inactivation. Homocysteine-induced ROS production, expression of anti-oxidant enzyme and inflammatory cytokine, and adhesion to endothelial cells were decreased by citrus flavonoids in monocyte. Citrus flavonoids inhibited the activation of endothelial cells and monocyte, suggesting that their inhibitory effect may contribute to protect against vascular inflammatory.
