Opis

Atherosclerosis is multifactorial with a very complex interaction including hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, oxidative stress and alterations in coagulation and fibrinolysis. Menopause is characterized by a decrease in the levels of estrogens. Estrogen deficiency causes endothelial dysfunction which is mediated through increasing production of ROS, modification of lipid profile. It has been demonstrated that the Oyster Mushrooms has favorably effects on serum lipids, improves endothelium-dependent vasodilation, and increases antioxidant and estrogen level and decreases intravascular thrombus propagation. These findings have generated proposed mechanisms Oyster Mushrooms to improve endothelial dysfunction and protect against the development of atherosclerosis.
