Membrane effects of Cocoa Procyanidins in Liposomes and Jurkat T Cells
We investigated the effects of the interaction between flavanols and related procyanidins (dimer to hexamer) with both cell and synthetic membranes, on bilayer fluidity and susceptibility to oxidation. Cocoa derived dimers (0.05 to 1 µg/ml) protected Jurkat T cells from AMVN-mediated oxidation and i...
