Abstract:
Atherosclerosis(As)poses a serious threat to human health,and modern medicine still faces many limi-tations in its treatment of this disease.However,components and compounds of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)have unique advantages in anti-atherosclerosis by regulating macrophage autophagy,they exert anti-inflammatory,anti-oxi-dation,lipid metabolism-regulating and plaque-stabilizing effects.This paper reviews the application of TCM in regulating macrophage autophagy to prevent and treat atherosclerosis,and provides new insights into the application of TCM compo-nents and compounds in the treatment of As.
