Effect of bilberry extract (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) on drug-metabolizing enzymes in rats
Preclinical
Abstract
In rats, bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) extract caused only mild, physiologically insignificant changes in drug-metabolizing enzymes, concluding that consumption of bilberry as a food supplement should not pose a meaningful drug-interaction risk.
