The results suggest that the intake of cocoa polyphenols may modulate inflammatory mediators in patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease and these antiinflammatory effects may contribute to the overall benefits of cocoa consumption against atherosclerosis.

In tetra- and pentaglycosylated flavonoids, the ions that characterize the (1-->2) interglucosidic linkage formed by intermediate fragmentation of the oligosacharide residues (sophorosides and sophorotriosides) are found in much higher relative abundance in MS3 than in MS2 experiments, where they are almost not detected.
