Abstract: The advances in researches on antioxidative activities and pharmacologic activities of bamboo-leaf- flavonoids (EOB-f) against cardio-cerebrovascular diseases were reviewed. 1) Experiments in vitro and vivo showed that EOB-f could scavenge radicals, prevent lipid peroxidation and increase the level of antioxidation in vivo; 2) Animal tests and clinic tests showed that EOB-f could significantly depress the triglyceride level and elevate the high density lipoprotein cholesterol level in serum of animal and human; 3) Pharmacological experiments revealed that EOB-f could efficiently expand coronary artery and increase its flux, improve the blood supply of heart muscle and shrink the area of myocardial infarction, decrease the congregation of blood platelet and inhibit thrombosis, and keep brain tissue from blood shortage. In short words, EOB-f may be a kind of promising natural products for the development of medicine and dietary supplement against cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.
