Mediterranean, but not lacto-ovo-vegetarian, diet positively influence circulating progenitor cells for cardiovascular prevention: The cardiveg study
Introduction: Recent studies have suggested that diet may modulate the number of progenitor cells. Our aim was to evaluate the possible association between dietary habits and progenitor cells using data obtained from the CARDIVEG study, a randomized crossover trial that compared the effects of a lacto-ovo-vegetarian (VD) and a Mediterranean diet (MD).
