Effects of dark chocolate on endothelial function in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

Highlights

• •NADPH oxidase derived oxidative stress is significantly associated to endothelial function according to different degrees of liver damage.
• 
  
• •Dark chocolate intake reduces oxidative stress and increases endothelial function and nitric oxide biovailability in NASH patients.
• 
  
• •Cocoa polyphenols improve endothelial function via Nox 2 down-regulation in NASH patients.
