Maté consumption association with upper aerodigestive tract cancers: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the association between maté consumption and upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancers. An increased odds of UADT cancer was observed with maté consumption, with consistent evidence across all UADT subsites. Consumption of more than one liter per day was associated with higher odds of cancer occurrence.
Effect of chocolate and mate tea on the lipid profile of individuals with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy: A clinical trial.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial with 92 HIV/AIDS patients on ART evaluated the effects of dark chocolate and mate tea on lipid profiles. Dark chocolate consumption for 15 days improved HDL-C concentrations, suggesting cardiovascular protection.
Effect of mate tea (Ilex paraguariensis) on the expression of the leukocyte NADPH oxidase subunit p47and on circulating inflammatory cytokines in healthy men: a pilot study.
Pilot study with nine healthy men examining the effects of soluble mate tea (SMT) on leukocyte NADPH oxidase protein p47 expression and circulating inflammatory cytokines. SMT consumption significantly attenuated p47 protein expression and serum TNF-α and IL-6 levels, while enhancing plasma phenolic compounds and blood GSH:GSSG ratio, suggesting reduced oxidative stress and inflammation.
