Official Title: Effect of Black Tea Consumption on Endothelial Function and Ischaemia-reperfusion Injury in Humans

Brief Summary:

Tea consumption may impact upon the decrease in endothelial function after IR-injury. However, no previous study directly examined the potential of tea to impact upon the change in endothelial function after IR-injury.

The investigators hypothesize that tea consumption counteracts endothelial damage in response to ischaemia reperfusion injury in healthy humans.
