Abstract As a normal attribute of aerobic life, structural damage to organic compounds wide variety (DNA, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) may occur as consequence oxidative reactions. Oxidative inflicted by reactive oxygen species has been called “oxidative stress”. Biological systems contain powerful enzymatic nonenzymatic antioxidant systems, stress denotes shift in the prooxidant/antioxidant balance favor former. Diverse biological processes such inflammation, carcinogenesis, ageing,...
Epidemiological and medical anthropological investigations suggest that flavanol-rich foods exert cardiovascular health benefits. Endothelial dysfunction, a prognostically relevant key event in atherosclerosis, is characterized by decreased bioactivity of nitric oxide (NO) impaired flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD). We show healthy male adults the ingestion cocoa was associated with acute elevations levels circulating NO species, an enhanced FMD response conduit arteries, augmented...
