Atherosclerosis is a medical condition caused by plaque accumulated on the wall of arteries, leading to the narrowing of the artery and reducing oxygen risk blood flow to the heart and brain.
Plaques are made up of cholesterol, calcium and other chemical substances in the artery
Depending on the location of the blockage, if the reduced blood flow occurred in the brain, it will lead to stroke, causing the death of the neurons.
However, if the reduced blood flow occurred in the heart, it will cause damage to the heart tissues, leading to heart disease.
Most common disease associated with atherosclerosis is coronary artery disease. Most people with atherosclerosis are asymptomatic at the early stage.
Some researchers suggested that atherosclerosis is a lipoprotein-driven disease. Therefore, people with high blood cholesterol are at an increased risk of atherosclerosis. Overuse of calcium supplements is also found to elevated the condition risk, particularly in the elderly.
Other risk factors that have bee found epidemiologically by studies are high blood pressure, triglycerides, smoking, insulin resistance, obesity or diabetes and inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis, lupus or infections.
Most cases of atherosclerosis can be reversed by making a change of lifestyle and moderate exercise.
Dr. Singh RB, the lead scientist wrote, "Adherence to diet and exercise was obtained through questionnaires and information obtained was quantified into a formula"

Dr. Singh RB, the lead scientist wrote, "Adherence to diet and exercise was obtained through questionnaires and information obtained was quantified into a formula"
And, " After 24 weeks, the overall score of diet and exercises were significantly higher in group A(intervention diet( than in group B(control). There was a significant decrease in serum total cholesterol (13.3%), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (16.9%), triglycerides (19.2%), fasting blood glucose (19.5%) and blood pressures (11.5/6.2 mm Hg) in the intervention group compared with initial levels and changes in group B".
Betaxanthins are Phytochemicals in the class of red and yellow indole-derived pigments, belonging to the group of Betalains, found abundantly in beets, Sicilian prickly pear, etc.
On finding a potent ingredient for the treatment of heart disease, researchers examined the effects of indicaxanthin, a chemical constituent of betaxanthins anti-inflammatory activity, against oxLDL-induced endothelial dysfunction.
Moreover, indicaxanthin also exerted a significantly redox-dependent by inhibiting the protein involved in pro-inflammatory proteins.
Collectively, researchers said, " In conclusion, here we demonstrate indicaxanthin as a novel, dietary phytochemicals, able to exert significant protective vascular effects in vitro, at nutritionally relevant concentrations".
Taken altogether, betaxanthins processed a high amount of indicaxanthin may be considered a functional remedy for the prevention of atherosclerosis, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
