A single consumption of a curry meal significantly improved postprandial endothelial function compared to a spice-free control meal in healthy men.
Nakayama et al. (2014) conducted an RCT in Healthy (n=14). Curry meal vs. Spice-free control meal was evaluated on Postprandial flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) at 1 hour (p=0.002). A single consumption of a curry meal significantly improved postprandial flow-mediated vasodilation to 6.6% compared to 5.1% after a spice-free control meal in healthy men.
