The Effects of Plant Bioactives on Platelet Function

NCT01130129 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 15

Last updated 2013-03-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Consumption of a diet rich in fruit and vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and the protective effect may be due to polyphenolic compounds contained within these foods. The mechanism by which polyphenols exert this effect is not clearly understood but research has focused on their potential to affect platelet function. The purpose of this study is to quantify the anti-clotting activity of a range of plant food extracts and component compounds.
