Screening lower high cholesterol and secretion of bile salt hydrolase (BSH) from yeast strains, and study the environmental factors for increasing the activity of BSH, then investigate the mechanism of cholesterol lowering. We obtained two yeasts to lower cholesterol by high-throughput screening technology and o-phthalaldehyde : strain K1 and strain M3 are Kluyveromyces marxianus, are the highest rate of cholesterol-reducing strains by far, the lower cholesterol rates were 68.14% ~ 70.34% , 80.51% ~ 99.12%. The two yeasts can secretion BSH in the metabolic process with the Oxford cup method, and the BSH activity is proportional to the rates of cholesterol-reducing. Strain M3 has a higher BSH production capacity than strain K1, and high cholesterol-lowering effect. That indicating efficient yeast strains to lower cholesterol production is due to their abundant or high activity BSH. The BSH secretion of strain K1 and strain M3 demonstrated a key enzyme in cholesterol-lowering effect for the first time. BSH can hydrolyze conjugated bile salt and free bile salt, which can precipitate with cholesterol state, to reduce the effect of cholesterol. To aim directly at 4 major factors can affect the synthesis of BSH, the fermentation conditions of strain M3 producing BSH highly were determined with four factors and three levels[L9(34)]orthogonal experiment: fermentation temperature is 32 °C, fermentation time is 24h, the initial pH of medium is 6.0, inoculums is 3%. The activity of BSH secreted by Strain M3 increased 50% in the optimization of fermentation conditions. Strain K1 and M3 fermented milk with excellent performance, we could research and develop functional fermented dairy products and micro-ecology preparation, by using the characteristics of efficient to lower cholesterol and complementary advantages of lactose fermentation performance of the two strains.

Essential hypertension is high blood pressure that doesn't have any known etiopathology. Most of sufferers (85%) are asymptomatic and as per available reports, in more than 95% cases of hypertension under lying cause is not found. It is estimated that 600 million people are affected worldwide. Hypertension is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Its impact is greatest on stroke, MI and end stage is renal failure as it’s known as a Silent Killer. Hence there is no direct reference of hypertension in Ayurvedic classics by name as well as by its path physiological views. Many works have been carried out on hypertension to evaluate the perfect diagnosis and mode of treatment on the basis of Different nomenclatures also have been adopted by Ayurveda experts like Raktagata Vata, Raktagata Vyana Vaisamya, Uccha Rakta Chapa, Raktavrita Vata, Siragata Vata etc. Keywords: Essential hypertension, Raktagata Vyana Vaisamya, Uccha Rakta Chapa, Cardiovascular diseases, Silent Killer.

Hyperlipidemia represents a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases leading to myocardial injury. The present study aimed to illustrate the myocardial injury induced in a diabetic hyperlipidemic rat model and the effect of vitamin D3, 10-DHGD intake either individually or in combination form. Male albino rats were selected for the study, received alloxan, hypercholesterolemic diet, and categorized into four groups. The first one (DHC), received hypercholesterolemic diet only and referred to as control. The remaining groups (2, 3, 4) received vitamin D3, 10-DHGD, and combination of both, respectively. Certain biomarkers that were selected for MI evaluation included blood glucose, lipogram pattern, Copeptin, C-reactive protein, myeloperoxidase, heart fatty acid-binding protein, and histopathological changes in myocardium and aorta. Vitamin D3 and 10-DHGD intake induced significant hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic effects, decreased inflammation, and MI biomarkers. Decreased myocardial vacuoles, foam cells, and intimal lesions were also observed compared to DHC. Their combination intake induced more marked reduction in all biomarkers and showed a histopathological pattern similar to normal features of myocardium and aorta. Our findings suggest the therapeutic roles of vitamin D3, 10-DHGD, and their combination against myocardial injury in diabetic hyperlipidemic rats. Impact statement Hyperlipidemia represents a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases leading to myocardial injury (MI). The present study aimed to illustrate the pattern of myocardial injury induced in diabetic hyperlipidemic rat model and the effect of vitamin D3, 10-dehydrogingerdione (10-DHGD) intake either individually or in combination form.

Dyslipidemia is the major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. A multitude of lipid guidelines exist, with several controversies, and the best approach in dyslipidemia management is not clear. The tools and lipoproteins used for risk assessment, whether to use a treatment target and implementing drugs other than statins are all controversial points. Until the time for the publication of an agreeable lipid guideline, physicians should choose their way by considering the advantages and disadvantages of the existing guidelines.

Age-associated endothelium dysfunction is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Endothelium-synthesized prostaglandins and thromboxane are local hormones, which mediate vasodilation and vasoconstriction and critically maintain vascular homeostasis. Accumulating evidence indicates that the age-related changes in endothelial eicosanoids contribute to decline in endothelium function and are associated with pathological dysfunction. In this review we summarize currently available information on aging-shifted prostaglandin profiles in endothelium and how these shifts are associated with cardiovascular disorders, providing one molecular mechanism of age-associated endothelium dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases.
