[Effect of raisin consumption on some coagulation factors and total serum antioxidant capacity in hyperlipidemic patients: a randomized clinical controlled tria]

ABSTRACT

Introduction: High circulating levels of hemostatic factors are associated with increased CVD risk. Raisins contain polyphenolic compounds which can reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease. In this study the effect of black raisin consumption on some coagulation factors, lipid profile and serum Total Antioxidant Capacity [TAC] in hyperlipidemic patients was evaluated
