Introduction and research Problem: Arabic coffee is a form of boiled unfiltered light roasted coffee bean with cardamom rich in diterpenes, components that been shown to raise cholesterol. Cardamom, a component to Arabic coffee, has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties. This study investigates the effects of daily consumption of Arabic coffee with two different doses of cardamom on blood pressure, lipids, heart and liver enzyms. Materials and Methods: Healthy adult females (n=36) were divided into 3 groups. Each was given daily 500 ml Arabic coffee, either with no cardamom (G1), or with one proportion of cardamom (3:1) (ACLC), or with two proportions of cardamom (3:2) (ACHC) for a period of 5 days/week for 4 weeks. Fasting blood was withdrawn at baseline, and end of intervention. Serum was analyzed for lipids, C-reactive protein (CRP), heart and liver enzymes. Blood pressure was measured at beginning and end of intervention.
Summary of Results: In G2, TC were elevated. In G3, TC and LDL-C increase, while GGT significantly decreased in both groups. Both cardamom doses showed no differences in blood pressure, lipids, heart and liver enzymes, or CRP compared to non-cardamom Arabic coffee.
Conclusion: Daily consumption of 500 ml of Arabic coffee with regular or high doses of cardamom might be a risk factor for CVD despite its nil effect on blood pressure and inflammation, and beneficial effect on liver function. |
