Journal ArticleDOI
(–)-Epicatechin mediates beneficial effects of flavanol-rich cocoa on vascular function in humans
Hagen Schroeter,Christian Heiss,Christian Heiss,Jan Balzer,Petra Kleinbongard,Carl L. Keen,Norman K. Hollenberg,Helmut Sies,Catherine Kwik-Uribe,Harold H. Schmitz,Malte Kelm +10 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that the human ingestion of the flavanol (-)-epicatechin is, at least in part, causally linked to the reported vascular effects observed after the consumption of flavanol-rich cocoa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired progenitor cell activity in age-related endothelial dysfunction.
TL;DR: Investigation of whether human age-related endothelial dysfunction is accompanied by quantitative and qualitative alterations of the endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) pool found maintenance of vascular homeostasis by EPCs may be attenuated with age based on functional deficits rather than depletion of CD34/KDR or CD133/K DR cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular effects of cocoa rich in flavan-3-ols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute Consumption of Flavanol-Rich Cocoa and the Reversal of Endothelial Dysfunction in Smokers
Christian Heiss,Petra Kleinbongard,Andre Dejam,Sandra Perré,Hagen Schroeter,Helmut Sies,Malte Kelm +6 more
TL;DR: The circulating pool of bioactive NO and endothelium-dependent vasodilation is acutely increased in smokers following the oral ingestion of a flavanol-rich cocoa drink, and the increase in circulating NO pool may contribute to beneficial vascular health effects of flav ethanol-rich food.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustained benefits in vascular function through flavanol-containing cocoa in medicated diabetic patients a double-masked, randomized, controlled trial.
Jan Balzer,Tienush Rassaf,Christian Heiss,Petra Kleinbongard,Thomas Lauer,Marc W. Merx,Nicole Heussen,Heidrun B. Gross,Carl L. Keen,Hagen Schroeter,Malte Kelm +10 more
TL;DR: Diets rich in flavanols reverse vascular dysfunction in diabetes, highlighting therapeutic potentials in cardiovascular disease.
