Cocoa Flavanols and the Aging Brain
Current Aging Science, 2023Abstract: Partly because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, cocoa flavanols have been examined in reversing age-related cognitive deficits. Epidemiological studies indicate a relation between flavonoid intake and the prevention of dementia.

On the bioavailability of flavanols and anthocyanins: Flavanol–anthocyanin dimers
Food Chemistry, 2012The bioavailability of flavanols, anthocyanins and anthocyanin-derived pigments like flavanol-anthocyanin dimers already reported to occur in food products is a major unsolved issue. The absorption of the flavanol-anthocyanin dimer (+)-catechin-(4,8)-malvidin-3-O-glucoside (Cat-Mv3glc) through Caco-2 cells was assessed by performing transepithelial ...

Cocoa Flavanols and Brain Perfusion
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 2006Foods and beverages rich in flavonoids are being heralded as potential preventive agents for a range of pathologic conditions, ranging from hypertension to coronary heart disease to stroke and dementia. We and others have demonstrated that short-term ingestion of cocoa, particularly rich in the subclass of flavonoids known as flavanols, induced a ...

Dietary Flavanols and Platelet Reactivity
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 2006Epidemiology studies suggest that the consumption of diets rich in flavonoids is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Plant-derived foods and beverages, such as red wine, tea, grape and grape juice, cocoa and chocolate, can be rich in 1 particular class of flavonoid, the flavan-3-ols.

Hypertension, the Kuna, and the Epidemiology of Flavanols
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 2006A low sodium diet has often been implicated in the protection of low blood pressure populations from hypertension, but several other dietary factors, including those as yet unidentified, may also be involved. The Kuna Indians of Panama are free of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, but this is changing with migration to urban areas.

Flavanols and Proanthocyanidins
2014There are many kinds of natural, oligo- and polymeric materials with very specific, almost unique properties. In the field of redox active secondary metabolites, the class of ‘condensed’ polyphenolic flavonoids, often referred to as proanthocyanidins or––at higher molecular weight––as tannins clearly stands out. Such substances are found in many edible

Antidiabetic actions of cocoa flavanols
Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2016Prevention of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) through the diet is receiving a growing interest and cocoa because of its polyphenolic compounds, mainly flavanols, has become an important potential chemopreventive natural agent. Cocoa and its main flavanols might contribute to prevent or delay diabetes mellitus type 2 by modulating insulin secretion in β‐

Simplified analysis of flavanols in matcha tea
Food Chemistry, 2022Matcha tea contains only the softer parts of the tea leaves and is finely ground. Therefore, extraction of the flavanols for analysis by HPLC is possible by a simpler protocol compared to the ISO 14502-2 method. 21 different simplified extraction methods were screened and five of them gave equal results as the ISO 14502-2 method.

The Anti-inflammatory Properties of Cocoa Flavanols
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 2006Signs of chronic or acute inflammation have been demonstrated in most cardiovascular diseases of multifactorial pathogenesis, including atherosclerosis and chronic heart failure. The triggers and mechanisms leading to inflammation may vary between clinical conditions but they share many common mediators, including specific patterns of eicosanoid and ...
