Official Title: Acute and Chronic Effects of Grape Extract on Cardiovascular Response Following Exercise
Brief Summary:
Exercise and grape extract intake (i.e., polyphenol-rich product) can independently improve blood pressure and endothelial function in prehypertensive individuals. Nevertheless, their combined effects remain unexplored. Furthermore, since the biological pathways targeted by both interventions are similar, they could overlap and be amplified by one another, promoting additive or synergistic effects. Animal model studies have reported that a grape seed extract intake prevents exercise-induced oxidative stress, which…
