Journal ArticleDOI
Pomegranate juice consumption reduces oxidative stress, atherogenic modifications to LDL, and platelet aggregation: studies in humans and in atherosclerotic apolipoprotein E–deficient mice
Michael Aviram,Leslie Dornfeld,Mira Rosenblat,Nina Volkova,Marielle Kaplan,Raymond Coleman,Tony Hayek,Dita Presser,Bianca Fuhrman +8 more
TL;DR: Pomegranate juice had potent antiatherogenic effects in healthy humans and in atherosclerotic mice that may be attributable to its antioxidative properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Weight Reduction on Blood Pressure, Plasma Renin Activity, and Plasma Aldosterone Levels in Obese Patients
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that weight loss is accompanied by reductions in PRA and aldosterone; PRA reductions, irrespective of sodium intake, may contribute to the decline in blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pomegranate juice consumption for 3 years by patients with carotid artery stenosis reduces common carotid intima-media thickness, blood pressure and LDL oxidation
Michael Aviram,Mira Rosenblat,Diana Gaitini,Samy Nitecki,Aaron Hoffman,Leslie Dornfeld,Nina Volkova,Dita Presser,Judith Attias,Harley Liker,Tony Hayek +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that pomegranate juice consumption by patients with CAS decreases carotid IMT and systolic blood pressure and these effects could be related to the potent antioxidant characteristics of PJ polyphenols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pomegranate juice consumption inhibits serum angiotensin converting enzyme activity and reduces systolic blood pressure.
Michael Aviram,Leslie Dornfeld +1 more
TL;DR: Pomegranate juice can offer a wide protection against cardiovascular diseases which could be related to its inhibitory effect on oxidative stress and on serum ACE activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pomegranate Juice Supplementation to Atherosclerotic Mice Reduces Macrophage Lipid Peroxidation, Cellular Cholesterol Accumulation and Development of Atherosclerosis
Marielle Kaplan,Tony Hayek,Ayelet Raz,Raymond Coleman,Leslie Dornfeld,Jacob Vaya,Michael Aviram +6 more
TL;DR: PJ supplementation to mice with advanced atherosclerosis reduced their macrophage oxidative stress, theirmacrophage cholesterol flux and even attenuated the development of Atherosclerosis.
