The effect of PJ consumption by patients with CAS on CIMT and on internal carotid EDV.

Ten patients with CAS were supplemented with PJ for up to 1 year. Common CIMT and EDV were measured in the patients’ left and right carotid arteries before treatment (baseline) and during PJ consumption. The mean values of both carotid arteries are presented. The individual results of mean common carotid artery IMT, as well as the averages of all mean values ±SEM, are shown (A and B). The averages of all mean values ±SEM are shown for internal carotid artery EDV (C). *P<0.01 (after PJ consumption versus Baseline—“0” time).
