#Cornus mas diferences between cultivars skin
A Traditional medicine practice utilizes its anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic properties in therapy of fever, dyspepsia and diabetes mellitus, rheumatic pain, nonspecific skin and urinary tract infections, and liver diseases in either a form of over-the-counter (OTC) herbal medical products or natural fruits and leaves. The archeological evidence of its use is dated to the La Tène period (range ca 450 B.D. IntroductionĬornelian cherry ( Cornus mas L., CC) is used as a food item as well as a traditional herbal drug in wide belt from middle and south Europe, through the Asia Minor and Caucasus to the Sub-Himalayan region. Nevertheless, biochemical properties of CC, hitherto described, predispose its products for the adjuvant management of atherosclerosis. However, the limitation of published studies is the use of undefined cultivars of CC, their experimental nature, small scale, and missing longitudinal trials. The first clinical trials confirmed a clinically relevant decrease of total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triacylglycerols, lipoproteins, amelioration of inflammatory activity, and insulin secretion improvement after the treatment with CC polyphenolic compounds. Polyphenols identified in CC exhibited both direct antiplatelet effects and reduction of platelet hyper-reactivity mediated via attenuation of oxidative stress. CC treatment demonstrated a favourable effect on lipid spectrum (comparable with statins), decrease of glycemia, and increase of insulin (comparable with glibenclamide). Its high antioxidant potential, verified in experimental studies, exhibited a pronounced decrease of inflammatory markers. Cornelian cherry ( Cornus mas L., CC) contains polyphenols influencing all three components of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is characterized by microinflammation, formation of atheromatous lipoprotein-rich plaques, and protrombogenic status. Functional food represents an important alternative management of atherosclerosis, its risk factors, and clinical complications.
