lüll Cocoa and cardiovascular health Corti R; Flammer AJ; Hollenberg NK; Luscher TFCirculation 2009[Mar]; 119 (10): 1433-41Epidemiological data demonstrate that regular dietary intake of plant-derived foods and beverages reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. Among many ingredients, cocoa might be an important mediator. Indeed, recent research demonstrates a beneficial effect of cocoa on blood pressure, insulin resistance, and vascular and platelet function. Although still debated, a range of potential mechanisms through which cocoa might exert its benefits on cardiovascular health have been proposed, including activation of nitric oxide and antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects. This review summarizes the available data on the cardiovascular effects of cocoa, outlines potential mechanisms involved in the response to cocoa, and highlights the potential clinical implications associated with its consumption.|*Beverages/adverse effects[MESH]|*Cacao/adverse effects/chemistry[MESH]|*Phytotherapy[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Antioxidants/pharmacology/therapeutic use[MESH]|Catechin/pharmacology/therapeutic use[MESH]|Endothelium, Vascular/drug effects/metabolism[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Flavonoids/pharmacology/therapeutic use[MESH]|Food Handling[MESH]|Heart Diseases/epidemiology/*prevention & control[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hyperlipidemias/diet therapy/epidemiology/prevention & control[MESH]|Hypertension/diet therapy/epidemiology/*prevention & control[MESH]|Indians, Central American[MESH]|Insulin Resistance[MESH]|Iowa/epidemiology[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Medicine, Traditional[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Nitric Oxide/metabolism[MESH]|Overweight/etiology[MESH]|Platelet Aggregation/drug effects[MESH]|Switzerland/epidemiology[MESH] |
