Experiments have shown promising effects. Blueberries could actually reduce cholesterol. Can lower blood lipids are the stuff of pterostilbene, which is also found in grapes.
Blueberries are an efficient way to lower cholesterol and can be cheaper in the future. This is the conclusion reached by scientists. Trapped in a small forest fruit after the initial investigation, several active substances against high cholesterol.
Studies on rat liver cells showed that the material developed pterostilbene, which is also found in wine, the strongest effect. Pterostilbene has the same effect as the cholesterol-lowering drugs Ciprofibrate. Both activate the PPAR receptor, a protein that plays an important role in the regulation of cholesterol levels.
This is the real blueberries has other advantages. He has been targeted only at this receptor, while these chemical agents also affect other metabolic processes of cells, researchers said Agnes Rimando of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Researchers were able to find similar antioxidants in grapes and red wine. According to research by other scientists, the active ingredient can be used against diabetes and pterostilbene against cancer. "How many blueberries a person needs to eat, so using this effect was not clear until now," says Rimando. "This requires further investigation carried out in humans."
