Abstract
In conclusion, procyanidins are capable to modulate MPP+ apical uptake in Caco-2 cells, this transport being most probably modulated through oxidation-reduction phenomena. Interactions between these compounds and drugs present in the diet may affect their absorption and bioavailability. Both the concentration and complexity of the procyanidin compounds should be taken into account in medical practice.
