By Bhavana KunkalikarMay 16 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in the Nutrients journal, researchers explored the potential benefits of consuming cocoa and red berries to improve cardiovascular biomarkers.
NO is a crucial vasodilator that controls vascular tone and prevents vascular inflammation. Polyphenols found in the human diet have been proven to be effective in fighting the negative effects of aging. Group three consumed a combination of cocoa and red berries at a rate of 7.5 g/day. Potential candidates for the study were selected from aging adults aged 45 to 85 years old, including men and postmenopausal women.
No significant differences were observed between the groups in the concentrations of total serum protein, homocysteine, NO, ACE, and d trimethylamine N-oxide activity. Between visits, the team noted a statistically remarkable increase in FMD values within the cocoa powder cohort and a reduction in TMAO levels post-12-week intervention in the cocoa group.
A significant increase in polyphenol plasma levels was observed in the C group, while in the RB group, the elevation in total polyphenols was close to significance when examining the differences within the groups.
