Effects of cocoa powder and dark chocolate on LDL oxidative susceptibility and prostaglandin concentrations in humans

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.

Method to increase the antioxidant activity of chocolate

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel method for conching chocolate, whereby a chocolate mass is submitted to a conching method that comprises the following steps: - a dry conching step performed at a temperature of between 50°C and 70°C, and subsequent a wet conching stage performed at an intermediate temperature between 60°C to 110°C.

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.
