In this study, researchers from China’s Southern Medical University examined the effects and molecular mechanism of polydatin on atherosclerosis in ApoE-knockout (ApoE???) mice. The results of their study were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that polydatin relieves atherosclerosis injury in ApoE??? mice by down-regulating PBEF expression and inhibiting PBEF-inducing cholesterol deposits in macrophages.
