Role of Cherry Consumption in Reducing Risk Factors for Chronic Inflammatory Diseases

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Inflammation, Cardiovascular Diseases

In brief

The goal of this study is to examine if chronic cherry consumption will decrease lipid peroxidation and serum concentration of inflammatory markers in human subjects with elevated serum C reactive protein (CRP), and to examine the relationship between serum concentrations of CRP and polyphenols. The investigators hypothesize that cherry consumption will reduce serum concentration of inflammatory markers, including CRP, inflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules.
