Abstract:With the development of society and economy, the nutrition-related diseases such as obesity, atherosclerotic heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, gout and cancer caused by excessive nutrition are increasingly serious, which have become an important public health problem threatening human health. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of increased mortality worldwide. At present, a large number of lipid-lowering products have flooded into the market aiming at independent risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, but most of them fail to achieve the expected effect due to side effects or inconspicuous effect of lipid-lowering. In recent years, people pay close attention to polyphenols and conduct research on them. Dietary polyphenols are the general name of all phenolic derivatives. They are widely distributed in the plant world, especially in dark fruits, vegetables and grains. They have many health and pharmacological effects. In this paper, the research progress of lipid lowering mechanism of dietary polyphenols was introduced from the aspects of body fat metabolism, fat cell evolution and intestinal microorganismto provide reference for further study on dietary polyphenols and lipid lowering mechanism.
