Pterostilbene——Blood lipid and cancer killer

Pterostilbene is a chemical component of pterostilbene, but scientists have also found the existence of pterostilbene in other plants, but because it was first found in pterostilbene, it was named pterostilbene. It is also known as 3,5-dimethoxy-4 ‘- hydroxystilbene. It is a kind of effective ingredient from red sandalwood, blueberry, grape and palm wood. Pterostilbene has anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and analgesic effects. At present, a large number of studies show that pterostilbene has a good effect in the treatment and protection of skin diseases, especially in the field of antioxidation.

Pterostilbene can protect cardiovascular health. Many studies have shown that pterostilbene has a protective effect on atherosclerosis, and another study has shown that it improves all aspects of autophagy and helps to counteract the pro atherosclerotic effect of oxidized low density lipoprotein on vascular endothelial cells. It also demonstrated its potential utility in the treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury. These functions indicate that pterostilbene is very useful in protecting cardiovascular system.

Red sandalwood stilbene can effectively reduce blood lipids, now people’s diet is mostly greasy, which will lead to increased blood lipids in the body, may cause dizziness, atherosclerosis, and even because the blood becomes thick and lead to optic nerve hypoxia. Taking pterostilbene can reduce the content of fat in the blood, effectively reduce blood lipids, and ensure people’s health.

Pterostilbene also has significant anticancer effect. It can inhibit the growth of cancer cells by changing cell cycle, induce apoptosis, inhibit tumor growth and metastasis in vivo, and enhance the expression of antioxidant enzymes by significantly activating Nrf2. In addition, pterostilbene can also induce the death of tumor cells through lysosomal membrane permeability Inhibition of growth and metastasis of metastatic melanoma and inhibition of NF- κ B and activator protein 1 activation induced skin tumors.
