The effect of Greek mountain tea extract and wheat germ extract on peripheral blood flow and eicosanoid metabolism in mammals
Given the established role of polyphenol intake in enhancing vascular endothelial function and increasing peripheral blood flow, we suggest that the observed increase in blood flow is a consequence of polyphenols in GMT. In contrast, the enhancement of eicosanoid balance was more pronounced in the WG extract group compared to the GMT group, suggesting that this effect may be attributable to components other than polyphenols present in these fractions.
