Abstract
⺠The in vivo cardiovascular protective effect of three different apple varieties was studied. ⺠The three apple varieties contained different amount of polyphenols and fibre. ⺠The cholesterol- and oxLDL-lowering effect correlated with phenolic content and composition of apples. ⺠Catechin, epicatechin and procyanidin B1 are the major contributors of the bioactive effect. ⺠Antioxidants and β-carotene could also contribute to apple's cardiovascular protective effect.
