Pterostilbene
Catalog No: CFN90397
Pterostilbene acts as a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) agonist, it has been implicated in anticarcinogenesis, antioxidant, modulation of neurological disease, anti-inflammation, attenuation of vascular disease, and amelioration of diabetes. Pterostilbene downregulates inflammatory iNOS and COX-2 gene expression in macrophages by inhibiting the activation of NFkappaB by interfering with the activation of PI3K/Akt/IKK and MAPK.
Pterostilbene may protect HUVECs against oxLDL-induced apoptosis by downregulating LOX-1-mediated activation through a pathway involving oxidative stress, p53, mitochondria, cytochrome c and caspase protease.
