| Abstract: | Background Compared with other common plant foods, walnuts (Juglans regia) are consistently ranked among the highest in antioxidant capacity. In vitro, walnut polyphenols inhibit plasma and LDL oxidation,
while in animal models they lower biomarkers of oxidative stress and raise antioxidant capacity. A limited number of human
feeding trials indicate that walnuts improve some measures of antioxidant status, but not others. |
