It concluded that cucumber-derived extracts could protect the endothelium’s vulnerable cells against the inflammation caused by lipopolysaccharides. The study was supported by the University of Bologna. Its findings were published in the journal BMC … Continue reading Cucumbers suppress inflammation in vascular endothelial cells
