WILL GREEN TEA REDUCE LDL OXIDABILITY AND IMPROVE VASCULAR FUNCTION IN WOMEN?
A recent study (See #86c) suggests that green tea may be protective against cardiovascular disease especially
in women. The following study examines two possible ways green tea may be protective: reducing LDL cholesterol oxidation levels
in the circulating blood and improving blood flow (vascular function).
Green tea reduces LDL oxidability and improves vascular function.
J Am Coll Nutr. 2008 Apr;27(2):209-13. Tinahones FJ, et.al.

This study conducted in women found that:
"consumption of green tea extract by women for five weeks produced modifications in vascular function
and an important decrease in serum oxidizability."
