The Effects of Blackcurrant and Berry Extracts on Oxidative Stress in Cultured Cardiomyocytes and Microglial Cells: A Potential Cardioprotective and Neuroprotective Mechanism

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of morbidity and mortality for both men and women in the U.S, and our military Warfighters are not immune to its increasingly harmful impacts. Our Warfighters are consistently placed in harms way due to their mission of deterring the enemys threats and protecting our homeland security.
