摘要:
Cocoa extracts which include procyanidin monomers and their oligomers are useful in the modulation of inflammatory pathways, in the maintenance of the vascular health of a mammal and as an antibacterial treatment. The liquid or dry cocoa extracts can be included in foods, food supplements and pharmaceuticals for the inhibition of COX activity, the inhibition of LOX activity, the enhancement of nitric oxide production, the modulation of eicosanoids and endothelin, and the modulation of platelet activity.
摘要:
This invention relates to compositions comprising a cyclo-oxygenase modulator in combination with cocoa procyanidin monomers and/or oligomers, wherein the cyclo-oxygenase modulator is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as aspirin. Such compositions may be used for the treatment of cardiovascular related disorders.
