[Improvement of blood filtrability with a purified extract of black currant anthocyanosides in cynomologus monkeys on a fat diet].

A fat diet has been administered for 3 months to Cynomologus monkeys treated with blackcurrant anthocyanosides as compared with others receiving no treatment. Blood filtrability of animals given a fat diet alone was significantly lowered (20.8%; p less than 0.01) as compared with that of animals receiving a standard diet. Blood filtrability of animals receiving a fat diet plus blackcurrant anthocyanosides was not significantly different from that of animals given a standard diet. Emphasis is laid on a new approach to the action of this type of product on blood vessel contents as compared with the known action on the container.
