Nádia Nara Batista,Dayana Pereira de Andrade,Cíntia Lacerda Ramos,Disney Ribeiro Dias,Rosane Freitas Schwan +4 more
TL;DR: Partial least square (PLS) model for infrared data showed a good calibration coefficient, indicating that the FTIR technique represents a fast and reliable tool to evaluate TPC and TAC in cocoa beans and chocolate.

Molecular mechanisms underlying the potential antiobesity-related diseases effect of cocoa polyphenols
TL;DR: In vitro as well as in vivo data indicate that cocoa polyphenols (CPs) may exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, thereby attenuating chronic inflammation.

The effect of vegetarian diet, plant foods, and phytochemicals on hemostasis and thrombosis
TL;DR: It is suggested that a plant-based diet with sufficient n-3 fatty acids and certain fruits and vegetables may have a favorable impact on hemostasis and thrombosis, but the evidence is neither sufficient nor conclusive at this time to warrant specific recommendations for the public.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cocoa phytochemicals: recent advances in molecular mechanisms on health.
TL;DR: This review summarizes comprehensive recent findings on the beneficial actions of cocoa-driven phytochemicals in molecular mechanisms of human health and specific molecular targets linked to the pathogenesis of chronic human diseases.

Cocoa Powder Increases Postprandial Insulinemia in Lean Young Adults
TL;DR: The presence of cocoa powder in foods leads to greater postprandial insulin secretion than alternate flavorings, and specific insulinogenic amino acids or greater cephalic phase insulin release may explain the findings.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent
TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

Estimation of the Concentration of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Plasma, Without Use of the Preparative Ultracentrifuge
TL;DR: A method for estimating the cholesterol content of the serum low-density lipoprotein fraction (Sf0-20) is presented and comparison of this suggested procedure with the more direct procedure, in which the ultracentrifuge is used, yielded correlation coefficients of .94 to .99.

Continuous monitoring of in vitro oxidation of human low density lipoprotein.
TL;DR: The kinetics of the oxidation of human low densit) lipoprotein (LDL) can be measured continuously by monitoring the change of the 234 nm diene absorption as discussed by the authors.

Polyphenolic Flavanols as Scavengers of Aqueous Phase Radicals and as Chain-Breaking Antioxidants
N. Salah,Nicholas J. Miller,George Paganga,Lilian B. M. Tijburg,G.P. Bolwell,Catherine Rice-Evans +5 more
TL;DR: Against propagating lipid peroxyl radical species, epicatechin and catechin are as effective as ECG and EGCG, the least efficacious being EGC and GA.
