Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the antiatherogenic effect of GSPE in clinical use

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Atherosclerotic plaques indicate the occurrence of ischemia events and how to deal with it is a difficult task for clinical physicians. Grape seed proanthocyanidin extrat (GSPE) has been reported to exert an antiatherogenic effect by inducing regression of atherosclerotic plaques in animal experimental studies. In this study, the antiatherogenic effect of GSPE has been investigated in clinical use.
