Anthocyanin Intake on Cardiometabolic Biomarkers

Flavonoids are one of the main groups of polyphenols. Anthocyanins, which are a subgroup of the flavonoid family, are found in a number of fruits and some vegetables. In epidemiological studies, high dietary intake of polyphenols has been associated with improvement of some cardiometabolic risk factors in high-risk individuals. Furthermore, in controlled studies, consumption of polyphenol-rich food sources or anthocyanin extract supplementation has improved some cardiometabolic factors. In the present study, the effect of diet enriched with anthocyanin-rich food sources on cardiometabolic factors will be studied in coronary artery disease patients.
