Abstract
High levels of free oxygen radicals, induced by many biological or
environmental factors, result in damage and dysfunction of the mitochondria
which causes cardiovascular and other diseases. Cardiotherapies employing
antioxidants has been suggested to be a useful approach to scavenge excess
reactive oxygen species (ROS). Many phytomedicines have antioxidant
properties. The outcome of many clinical trials in which phytomedicines were
used is however often disappointing.
