Licorice root, derived from the plant Glycyrrhiza glabra is used widely in Asia as a sweetener or a spice, contains flavonoids from the flavan and chalcone subclasses, and has a antioxidative properties [259]. Licorice-derived glabridin binds to the LDL particle and protects it from oxidation by its capacity to scavenge free radicals and its property to reduce
