Abstract
Ingesting moderate amounts of purple grape juice each day improved flow-med iated vasodilation of the brachial artery in patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease. Both high and low doses of grape juice had similar effect s on endothelial function; however, the addition of vitamin E did not lead to further improvements.
