Effect of Cocoa Polyphenolic Extract on Macrophage Polarization from Proinflammatory M1 to Anti-Inflammatory M2 State

Table 1

Chemical properties of cocoa polyphenol extract. GAE, gallic acid equivalent, TE, Trolox equivalent. Data were expressed as mean of five replicates ± standard deviation. Polyphenol extraction yield was calculated as follows: % (w/w) = mass in dry basis/mass of initial weight fed for extraction × 100.
