Pycnogenol is effective in decreasing systolic blood pressure in mildly hypertensive patients.
This study on oral Pycnogenol supplementation with non-smoking, mildly hypertension patients shows a significant decrease in [...]
Pycnogenol® is shown to be useful for treating various diseases whose pathogeneses involve endothelial dysfunction.
This double-blind, randomized, placebo and active drug study, Pycnogenol®’s effects on endothelium-dependent vasodilation in humans suggests [...]
Pine bark extract lowers plasma glucose levels in diabetes type II patients.
An experiment with 77 diabetes type II patients reveals that French maritime pine bark extract (Pynogenol®) [...]
Evidence for bone marrow-derived circulating endothelial cells.
This article demonstrates that a subset of CD34+ cells have the capacity to differentiate into endothelial [...]
Circulating progenitor cells regenerate the endothelium of vein grafts.
Endothelial cell death and regeneration was studied using transgenic mice carrying LacZ genes driven by an [...]
Smoking cessation increases endothelial progenitor cells, helping to restore cardiovascular health.
The effect of smoking on endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is not well known, but in [...]
