Why the study?
How abdominal aortic aneurysms form remains unknown, and improved knowledge of their development and progression could foster innovative, less intrusive treatment approaches.
Do nutraceuticals suppress the growth and progression of experimental-induced abdominal aortic aneurysms?

This review highlights the potential of nutraceuticals to prevent or manage abdominal aortic aneurysms through anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic mechanisms in experimental models.
Nutraceuticals show promise in experimental AAA models; leaves open translation to human disease.
A potentially fatal ailment, abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) frequently result in death by dissection or rupture. AAA is caused by a histopathologic anomaly that includes smooth muscle cell loss, media degeneration, inflammatory cell infiltration, and elastic fiber damage in the aorta wall. Nevertheless, it is still unknown how AAAs form. Improved knowledge of how AAA develops and progresses might lead to the development of innovative, less intrusive treatment approaches for those suffering from this debilitating illness. Functional foods have a range of protective impacts, such as antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antifibrotic, anticarcinogenic, and cardiovascular protective impacts, as shown by numerous human and animal research. Pretreatment with nutraceuticals can suppress the growth of AAA and pro‐inflammatory markers. The use of nutraceuticals to treat ischemic‐reperfusion cardiac cells has been shown to protect against ischemia–reperfusion damage through a diversity of mechanisms. This information was most recently reported. Thus, by inhibiting apoptosis, oxidative damage, c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase pathway, and inflammation, we investigated the impact of nutraceuticals on experimental‐induced AAA in the current review.
