| description | <table style="height: 357px;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="498" align="left"><tbody><tr><td height="357" align="left" valign="top"><p>In this work we studied the impact of regular consumption of bilberries on the lipid profile and triglycerides in the blood plasma. The research involved 18 women (average age 49.7) and 7 men (average age 52.8), who consumed 150 g of bilberries three times a week for 6 weeks. Based on these results, we can conclude that the average total cholesterol levels of women decreased from 5.65 mmol.l<sup>-1</sup> at the beginning of research to 5.11 mmol.l<sup>-1</sup>. At end of the study, the average total cholesterol was 5.47 mmol.l<sup>-1</sup>. Similar results were found in the LDL cholesterol - the level of cholesterol of the second blood collection dropped from 4.06 mmol.l<sup>-1</sup> to 3.70 mmol.l<sup>-1</sup> and at the end of the study it increased again to 4.00 mmol.l<sup>-1</sup>. We observed a slight increase in HDL choleserol (by 0.07 mmol.l<sup>-1</sup>) and reduction of triglycerides (by 0.16 mmol.l<sup>-1</sup>). The total cholesterol monitored men due to the regular consumption of bilberries decreased by 0.36 mmol.l<sup>-1</sup>, LDL cholesterol by 0.31 mmol.l<sup>-1</sup>, HDL cholesterol by 0.49 mmol.l<sup>-1</sup> and triglycerides by 0,49 mmol.l<sup>-1</sup>. The improvement of triglycerides and lipid profile in blood plasma of monitored subjects can by evaluated positively. The observed data confirm the biological activity of bilberries and the effectiveness of their use in prevention and comprehensive treatment of cardiovascular diseases.<br /><br /><strong>doi:10.5219/233</strong> </p><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table> <br /> |
