Black tea may improve vasodilator function in mild dyslipidemia; leaves open confirmation in larger outcome trials.
Does regular ingestion of black tea improve brachial artery vasodilator function in subjects with mild elevations in serum cholesterol or triglycerides?
Regular ingestion of black tea improves both endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent brachial artery vasodilator function in subjects with mild dyslipidemia.
