Back Cover: Physiological Concentrations of Blueberry ‐Derived Phenolic Acids Reduce Monocyte Adhesion to Human Endothelial Cells

Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2019,63,https://doi.org/10.1002/mnfr.2019004781900478DOI:10.1002/mnfr.201900478In article numberhttps://doi.org/10.1002/mnfr.2019004781900478, Margreet C. M. Vissers and co ‐workers investigate the activity of bioavailable, blueberry‐derived phenolic acid metabolites on the adhesion of monocytes to vascular endothelial cells. This work shows that a physiologically relevant mixture of phenolic acid metabolites, based on those found in plasma following blueberry juic e intake, can reduce monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells. This suggests a mechanism by which blueberry polyphenol metabolites may benefit vascular health.
