Polyphenols are key dietary components extensively studied for their involvement in preventing CVD, comorbidities of metabolic syndrome, malignancies, etc, all these diseases having an important etiological inflammatory component. For example, a central stage in the expansion of atherosclerosis is dyslipidemia, which together with increased ROS formation leads to LDL oxidation, which was correlated with the activation of pro-inflammatory pathways in the vascular wall. Likewise, it is well established that ROS and pro-inflammatory molecules generate a microenvironment predisposing to endothelial dysfunction. The increased expression of adhesion molecules (VCAM-1, ICAM-1, E-selectin) favours the adherence of monocytes to the endothelium and their infiltration within the vascular wall. As a result, of monocyte diapedesis pro-inflammatory molecules are released (TNF-α, IFNγ, MCP-1), NFκB is up-regulated, interleukins (IL-6 and IL-8) and metalloproteinases (MMPs) are synthesized (Gradinaru et al., 2017, 2018; Hansson and Libby, 2006; Libby, 2012; Libby et al., 2014; Ungurianu et al., 2019).
