Grapeseed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) can have a preventive effect on human colon dysfunction

Proanthocyanidins are a class of polyphenols found in a variety of plants. They have been found to have anti-inflammatory and barrier-protective properties on intestinal dysfunction. Despite this, little is known about the impacts of phytochemicals on intestinal barrier integrity and immune response in human. In a new article in European Journal of Nutrition, researchers are now showing that grapeseed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) can have a preventive effect on human colon dysfunction. FITC-dextran 4 from TdB Labs was used to examine the permeability of human proximal and distal colon in the study. Read the full study here.
