![]() ![]() Moreover, the vasodilator 6-keto PGF1α increased while the thromboxane TXB2 decreased in serum samples of subjects in the Yerba mate-receiving group. Specifically, blood flow speeds accelerated gradually and nailfold weighted integral values decreased significantly. Meanwhile, shape, flow state and nailfold microcirculation appeared positively changed. After treatment, whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity and the Equation K value of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESRK) decreased significantly in the Yerba mate group. Parameters of blood viscosity and microcirculation were improved in the subjects from the Yerba mate tea group but not in placebo-receiving patients. ![]() After treatment, results of hemorheological indexes, nailfold microcirculation, 6-keto-PGF1α and TXB2 and lipid profiles of subjects in the Yerba mate tea group were compared with those in the placebo-receiving group. Yerba mate tea or placebo (5 g/day) was administered to different groups for 6 weeks. This study aims to investigate the effect of Yerba mate tea on the reduction of blood viscosity and the improvement of microcirculatory parameters commonly regarded as risk factors for serious cardio and cerebrovascular disorders.ġ42 subjects with high blood viscosity were recruited in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The in vivo effects of Yerba mate on blood viscosity in humans, however, have not been studied. Our previous studies have suggested that consumption of Yerba mate tea (Ilex paraguariensis) has strong antioxidant and lipid-lowering properties in animals.
