Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how epicatechin, a flavonoid known for cardiovascular benefits, affects the structure and permeability of fibrin clots, which are important in thromboembolic diseases.
- Researchers analyzed plasma samples from 12 healthy individuals by measuring turbidity, fibrin fiber sizes, and permeability after adding varying concentrations of epicatechin.
- The results indicated that epicatechin made fibrin clots less dense and more permeable, with statistically significant changes in fiber size and distance between protofibrils at certain concentrations.
