Continuing Coverage of New Research from Dr. Satoru Eguchi and Lewis Katz School of Medicine Colleagues on Japanese Plum Juice and Cardiovascular Disease Risk

In new work, researchers at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University show that cardiovascular disease risk may be reduced with a simple juice concentrate from the Japanese plum – a fruit that is widely consumed in Asian countries and that is promoted as a health food in Japan. The new findings are described online in the journal Hypertension Research. Satoru Eguchi, MD, PhD, FAHA, Professor in the Cardiovascular Research Center, Sol Sherry Thrombosis Research Center and Center for Metabolic Disease Research at the Katz School of Medicine, is senior investigator and co-corresponding author on the new study.
