Article in Press, Corrected Proof, 31 October 2007
To analyse the association of moderate beer consumption on the blood lipid profile in healthy Spanish adults.
HDL-cholesterol, erythrocytes, haematocrit and MCV levels increased significantly after moderate beer consumption in women. In men, a decrease in HDL-cholesterol levels was observed after alcohol abstention. Haematocrit and MCV counts also increased significantly in men after moderate beer consumption. There were no dietary changes during the study.
In healthy Spanish adults, the effects of moderate beer consumption during 1 month were associated with favourable changes on the blood lipid profile.
