Biological activities of (−)-epicatechin and (−)-epicatechin-containing foods: Focus on cardiovascular and neuropsychological health

Biotechnology Advances, 2018
Recent studies have suggested that certain (-)-epicatechin-containing foods have a blood pressure-lowering capacity. The mechanisms underlying (-)-epicatechin action may help prevent oxidative damage and endothelial dysfunction, which have both been associated with hypertension and certain brain disorders.

Uptake and metabolism of epicatechin and its access to the brain after oral ingestion

open access: yesFree Radical Biology and Medicine, 2002
Epicatechin is a flavan-3-ol that is commonly present in green teas, red wine, cocoa products, and many fruits, such as apples. There is considerable interest in the bioavailability of epicatechin after oral ingestion. In vivo studies have shown that low

Effect of Epicatechin on Skeletal Muscle

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2022
: Loss of skeletal muscle (SkM) quality is associated with different clinical conditions such as aging, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and heart failure. Nutritional research has focused on identifying naturally occurring molecules that mitigate the loss of SkM quality induced by pathology or syndrome. In this context, although few human studies have been

Absorption and urinary excretion of procyanidin B2 [epicatechin-(4β-8)-epicatechin] in rats

Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 2002
We evaluated the bioavailability and plasma antioxidative activity after administration of procyanidin B2 [epicatechin-(4beta-8)-epicatechin] in rats. After procyanidin B2 administration, procyanidin B2 is absorbed and excreted in urine, and a portion of the PB2 is degraded to (-)-epicatechin and to the metabolized conjugated and/or methylated ...

Pharmacokinetics of (−)-epicatechin in rabbits

Archives of Pharmacal Research, 2009
The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics of (-)-epicatechin (EC) in rabbits after intravenous, intraperitoneal, and oral administration. A two-compartment model was used to describe the pharmacokinetics of EC after intravenous administration. EC showed dose-independent pharmacokinetics after intravenous administration. In addition,

Does epicatechin contribute to the acute vascular function effects of dark chocolate? A randomized, crossover study

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition and Food Research, 2016
Scope: Cocoa, rich in flavan-3-ols, improves vascular function, but the contribution of specific flavan-3-ols is unknown. We compared the effects of pure epicatechin, a major cocoa flavan-3-ol, and chocolate.
