lüll Immunochemical detection of food-derived polyphenols in the aorta: macrophages as a major target underlying the anti-atherosclerotic activity of polyphenols Kawai YBiosci Biotechnol Biochem 2011[]; 75 (4): 609-17It has been suggested that polyphenol-rich diets decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Although studies of the bioavailability of polyphenols, particularly their absorption and metabolism, have been reported recently, the tissue and cellular distributions underlying their biological mechanisms remain unknown. It is difficult to evaluate the specific localization of tissue and/or cellular polyphenols, because the method is limited to chromatography. To overcome these difficulties, we have developed anti-polyphenol antibodies to characterize immunohistochemically the localization of polyphenols and their metabolites in vivo. Two novel monoclonal antibodies were raised against quercetin and tea catechins, which represent flavonoid-type polyphenols distributed in foods and beverages, and are expected to exhibit anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities in vivo. Using these antibodies, we identified activated macrophages as a specific target of these flavonoids during the development of atherosclerotic lesions. This review describes recent findings on the molecular actions of flavonoids that underly their anti-atherosclerotic activity in vivo.|*Food[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Aorta/drug effects/*metabolism[MESH]|Atherosclerosis/*drug therapy/immunology/metabolism/physiopathology[MESH]|Flavonoids/*metabolism/pharmacokinetics/*pharmacology/therapeutic use[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immunochemistry/*methods[MESH]|Macrophages/drug effects/*metabolism[MESH]|Phenols/*metabolism/pharmacokinetics/*pharmacology/therapeutic use[MESH]|Polyphenols[MESH] |
