Mol. Nutr. Food Res . 2019, 63 , 1900478 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201900478 In article number 1900478, Margreet C. M. Vissers and co‐workers investigate the activity of bioavailable, blueberry‐derived phenolic acid metabolites on the adhesion of monocytes to vascular endothelial cells. This work shows that a physiologically relevant mixture of phenolic acid metabolites, based on those found in plasma following blueberry juice intake, can reduce monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells. This suggests a mechanism by which blueberry polyphenol metabolites may benefit vascular health.
