Popis: Pterostilbene is a phenolic compound commonly found in blueberries, peanuts, grapes, and other plants. It is a dimethoxy derivative of resveratrol. In recent years, it has gained significant attention due to its remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In addition, its high bioavailability and low toxicity in many species has contributed to its promising research prospects. Cardiovascular disease is closely related to pathological processes such as inflammation and oxidative stress, which aligns well with the treatment applications of pterostilbene. As a result, numerous studies have investigated the effects of pterostilbene on cardiovascular health and disease. This paper summarizes the current research on pterostilbene, with a specific focus on its potential therapeutic role in treating cardiovascular disease.
