U.S., Dec. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07265869) titled 'Can Cocoa Flavanols Protect Endothelial Function During Prolonged Sitting in Healthy Older Adults?' on Nov. 19.
Brief Summary: Sitting time is high in older adults and has been shown to temporarily impair endothelial function and blood pressure. Flavanols, plant-derived compounds, acutely enhance endothelial function and reduce Blood pressure in older adults. The aim of this study is to investigate whether acute ingestion of cocoa flavanols can improve peripheral endothelial function and blood pressure during prolonged sitting in healthy older adults.
In a randomised, double-blinded, cross-over, placebo-controlled human study, 20 he...
