A compound in dark chocolate is likely to protect the brain after a stroke by increasing cellular signals already known to shield nerve cells from damage. Scientists found that a single modest dose of epicatechin, a compound found naturally in dark chocolate, helps in less brain damage in mice induced with ischemic stroke. While most treatments against stroke in humans have to be given within a two to three-hour time window to be effective, epicatechin appeared to limit further neuronal damage when given to mice 3.5 hours after a stroke.
