Assess the effects of green tea and FPP on the levels of C-reactive proteins
The pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular events have associated inflammatory processes. The levels of plasma high-sensitivity (hs) C-Reactive Protein, an acute phase reactant produced in the liver, known to rise in inflammatory reactions are widely suggested to be a predictor of coronary events; and increased uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) are considered to be a risk factor in many clinical conditions including hypertension, cardiovascular events, diabetes mellitus, stroke, and metabolic syndrome.
