Weight gain and obesity are associated with increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Studies have demonstrated the ability of dietary flavanols to reduce the severity of metabolic derangements due to high-fat (HF) feeding. The degree of polymerization of the flavanols appears to play a role in
After ingestion flavanols are metabolized by phase-II enzymes and the microbiota and are distributed throughout the body depending on several factors. Herein we aim to evaluate whether flavanols are tissue-accumulated after the long-term administration of a grape seed polyphenol extract (GSPE) in
Background. Naturally occurring substances from the flavanol and anthocyanin family of polyphenols have been proposed to exert beneficial effects in the course of obesity. We hypothesized that their effects on attenuating obesity-induced dyslipidemia as well as the associated inflammatory sequelae
BACKGROUND
Little is known about the effects of cocoa and its main flavanols on the prothrombotic state associated with the development of hypertension in diet-induced obesity models.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of cocoa powder, cocoa extract and their main flavanols on plasma biomarkers
The gut microbiome metabolizes choline and carnitine to release trimethylamine (TMA), which subsequently undergoes hepatic conversion to trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). Elevated TMAO levels are associated with cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality risk. Dietary flavanols modulate the
BACKGROUND
The anti-obesity potential of flavonoids has been shown by animal and human studies. In this meta-analysis, we systematically reviewed controlled clinical trials and quantified the effects of flavonoids and flavonoid subclasses on obesity-related anthropometric measures.
RESULTS
PubMed,
OBJECTIVE
Impaired endothelial function in obesity may reduce blood flow to sites of metabolism, contributing to impaired fat oxidation and insulin resistance. This study investigated the effects of cocoa flavanols and regular exercise, interventions known to improve endothelial function, on
Growing evidence support that insulin resistance may occur as a severe problem due to chronic energetic overfeeding and subsequent obesity. When an abundance of glucose and saturated fat enter the cell, impaired blood flow, hypoxia, inflammation and macrophage infiltration in obese adipose tissue
BACKGROUND
Cardiometabolic profile is usually altered in obesity. Interestingly, the consumption of flavanol-rich foods might be protective against those metabolic alterations.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the postprandial cardiometabolic effects after the acute consumption of cocoa extract before and
Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels (Myrtaceae) has been traditionally used to treat a number of illnesses. Ethnopharmacological studies have particularly addressed antidiabetic and metabolic-related effects of extracts prepared from its different parts, especially seed, and pulp-fruit, however. there is a
Obesity remains a major public health challenge, and its prevalence is dramatically increasing. Diet and exercise are typically recommended to prevent and manage obesity; however, the results are often conflicting. Polyphenols, a class of phytochemicals that have been shown to reduce the risk
The consumption of cocoa and dark chocolate is associated with a lower risk of CVD, and improvements in endothelial function may mediate this relationship. Less is known about the effects of cocoa/chocolate on the augmentation index (AI), a measure of vascular stiffness and vascular tone in the
A considerable number of epidemiological investigations and intervention studies have supported an association between the intake of flavanol- and proanthocyanidin-containing foods and a decreased risk of metabolic diseases. Nonetheless, less is know about the capacity of tissues to accumulate
Conversion of cortisone to cortisol by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11βHSD1) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the target cells is a major determinant of glucocorticoid action, and plays an important role in the development of obesity-related diseases. Inhibition of 11βHSD1 activity
OBJECTIVE
Flavanols may provide protection against insulin resistance, but little is known about the amounts and types of flavanols that may be efficacious.
METHODS
This study was designed to determine whether cocoa flavanols, over a range of intakes, improve biomarkers of glucose regulation,
