简要总结
The purpose of this study is to carry out a randomized double blind controlled trial in 30 male subjects to investigate the effect of acai consumption on acute changes in vascular function, and to other cardiovascular markers. As a secondary aim the study will allow us to characterize the absorption and metabolism of acai polyphenols in humans over a 24 hour period.
