TLDR
Cocoa powder and dark chocolate may favorably affect cardiovascular disease risk status by modestly reducing LDL oxidation susceptibility, increasing serum total antioxidant capacity and HDL-cholesterol concentrations, and not adversely affecting prostaglandins.About:

Biologically upgraded cocoa pod husk: Effect on growth performance, haemato-biochemical indices and antioxidant status of broiler chickens
Olayemi Aanuoluwapo Olugosi,J. O. Agbede,G. E. Onibi,Issac Abayomi Adebayo,Akinlolu Oluwafemi Ayeni +4 more
TL;DR: Ten percent dietary inclusion of BCPHM appears optimal in broiler diet since beyond this level growth performance declined, while carcass traits, relative internal organ weight, haemato-biochemcal indices of broiler chickens were similar across dietary treatment.
Effect of California mission fig consumption on levels of c-reactive protein and antioxidant levels
TL;DR: Abdrabou et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the effect of consumption of polyphenol-rich figs on high sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) and antioxidant levels in hyperlipidemic subjects.

Association of Total Flavonoid Intake with Hypo-HDL-Cholesterolemia among Korean Adults: Effect Modification by Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Intake.
TL;DR: The results imply that the intake of proanthocyanidins might have beneficial effects on the HDL-cholesterol level in Korean men and n-3 PUFA intake might modify the association of total flavonoid intake with the hypo-HDL-cholesterolemia among Korean men.

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.

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.
