5. Study Description
Brief Summary
It has been proven in in-vitro studies that dates decrease the oxidative stress in serum. There have been no in-vivo studies to this date. The current study aims to test whether dates consumption by healthy adults decreases serum oxidative stress and improves serum PON1 activity and serum lipid profile.
