Abstract

The aging of our arteries represents an important cardiovascular risk factor, associated with the lack of functionality of blood vessels and a reduced response to different stimuli, such as the activation of angiogenesis. In fact, the age-related lack of angiogenic response conditions the maintenance of the physiological vascular network and the repair of damaged tissues after episodes of ischemia. The maintainance of a good cardiovascular health means keeping our arteries young, and to do this, the prevention of oxidative damage is fundamental, with food bioactive compounds playing a very important role.
