RESUMEN
This paper introduces the research progress related to the antioxidant activity of bamboo leaf flavonoid (EOB-f) and its pharmacological activity of heart and cerebral vessels. The paper studied what role EOB-f played in the diagnosis of heart and cerebral vessels, based on the in vitro, in vivo and animal model as well as the pharmacological research experiment. 1) The in vitro and in vivo experiments indicated that EOB-f has the function of anti-reactive-oxide species, anti-aging and anti-fatigue; 2) The research of animal model indicated that EOB-f can significantly decrease the triglyceride (TG) content in serum, significantly increase high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) content in serum, regulate blood lipids and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis; 3) The pharmacological study showed that EOB-f has the effect to resist the whole animal anoxia, can effectively dilate coronary vessels, increase coronary flow, increase myocardial contractility, obviously improve myocardial ischemia and diminish the myocardial infarction scope, inhibit the coagulation process and reduce platelet aggregation, and has certain protective effect on cerebral ischemia. EOB-f has the potential to develop as the natural drug and functional foods for prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
