Abstract

Background and Aims: Health-promoting properties of procyanidin-rich food, like free radical scavenging activity and inhibition of low-density lipoprotein oxidation, keep them very interesting subject for investigation as promising agents for protection against cardiovascular diseases. Procyanidins’ cardioprotective abilities partly attribute to their vasodilator properties. Considering that exact mechanisms of procyanidin B2-induced vasodilation are still undefined, we aimed to investigate and characterize vasorelaxant effect of procyanidin B2 on human saphenous vein (HSV) as one of its protective mechanisms.
