Tea and Forearm Blood Flow

Vascular Function Clinical Trial

Official title:
Forearm Blood Flow Response to Acute Consumption of Black Tea

Clinical Trial Summary

The study will explore the benefit of tea for microcirculation. Subjects will consume tea ar a placebo matched for taste and appearance in a blinded cross over design.

Clinical Trial Description

Epidemiological studies indicate that regular consumption of black tea reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Tea consumption can result in improvements in endothelial function of conduit arteries as measured by flow mediated dilation.

Less is known however about its effects in other vascular beds. The study will test the hypothesis that tea affects endothelial function in the muscle microcirculation. This will be done by assessment of forearm blood flow using venous occlusion plethysmography after consumption of black tea against or placebo in a randomised, full cross-over study in 20 healthy middle-aged to elderly subjects ;

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Basic Science
