Phenolic metabolites of anthocyanins modulate mechanisms of endothelial function [PDF]
, 2015 Anthocyanins are reported to have vascular bioactivity, however their mechanisms of action are largely unknown. Evidence suggests that anthocyanins modulate endothelial function, potentially by increasing nitric oxide (NO) synthesis, or enhancing NO ...
