Crocin mitigates atherosclerotic progression in LDLR knockout mice by hepatic oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction reduction, and intestinal barrier improvement and gut microbiota modulation
Crocin has a protective effect on neurodegenerative disease, but whether crocin can prevent atherosclerosis remains unclear. The present study aimed to explore the possible anti-atherosclerotic mechanism of crocin in LDLR-/- mice. Mice were fed an atherogenic high-fat/cholesterol diet and concomitan...
