Cranberries for treating urinary tract infections
CONCLUSIONS: After a thorough search, no RCTs which assessed the effectiveness of cranberry juice for the treatment of UTIs were found. Therefore, at the present time, there is no good quality evidence to suggest that it is effective for the treatment of UTIs. Well-designed parallel-group, double-blind studies comparing cranberry juice and other cranberry products versus placebo to assess the effectiveness of cranberry juice in treating UTIs are needed. Outcomes should include a reduction in symptoms, sterilisation of the urine, side effects and adherence to therapy. The dosage (amount and concentration) and duration of th...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 7895: In Vitro Analysis of Selected Antioxidant and Biological Properties of the Extract from Large-Fruited Cranberry Fruits
This study investigated the in vitro antioxidant and biological properties of ethanol extracts obtained from the fruits of the highbush cranberry. The produced extracts exhibited a high content of polyphenols (1041.9 mg 100 g d.m.−1) and a high antioxidant activity (2271.2 mg TE g 100 d.m.−1 using the DPPH method, 1781.5 mg TE g 100 d.m.−1 using the ABTS method), as well as a substantial amount of vitamin C (418.2 mg 100 g d.m.−1). These extracts also demonstrated significant in vitro biological activity. Studies conducted on the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cellular mode...

Impact of cranberry polyphenols and fibers, and slowly digestible starch on glycemic and insulinemic indexes of cereal products
Rationale: Glycemic response (GR) is part of cardiometabolic risks. Dietary fibers (DF), polyphenols (PP) and starch digestibility could play a role in modulating GR. We formulated cereal products with high DF, PP, and slowly digestible starch (SDS) contents to test their impact on the glycemic index (GI) and insulin index (II). (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Improved < em > in vitro < /em > Hemagglutination Assays Utilizing P-Type and Type 1 Uropathogenic < em > Escherichia coli < /em > to Evaluate Bacterial Anti-Adhesion Activity of Cranberry Products
J Diet Suppl. 2023 Nov 14:1-17. doi: 10.1080/19390211.2023.2276962. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCranberries have a long history of use in the prevention of urinary tract infections. Cranberry products vary in proanthocyanidin content, a compound implicated in preventing the adhesion of uropathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) to uroepithelial cells. Testing is routinely done by cranberry product formulators to evaluate in vitro bacterial anti-adhesion bioactivity, shelf-life, and potential efficacy of cranberry products for consumer use to maintain urinary tract health. Hemagglutination assays evaluate the anti-adhesion ...
