Abstract
Objective: To compile the currently available scientific literature on the advantages and disadvantages of yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) consumption for the proper functioning of the circulatory system in mammalian animal models. Methods: The planning of the stages of this investigation adopted as reference the guidelines and procedures of the Key Reporting Items in Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews. Results: The electronic search procedure made 21 publications available for reading. Four studies were forwarded for methodological analysis; 10 studies were forwarded for direct review; and seven others were excluded from the review. However, one study, among the four selected for thorough methodological reading, was included in the review, for evaluating the effects of yerba mate tea intake on metabolic and cardiovascular parameters in Wistar rats. Thus, five publications were read in full and referenced in this systematic review. Final considerations: There was a small number of publications in Portuguese that recorded studies and/or research, with an emphasis on records of the interaction between the consumption of yerba mate and cardiovascular health, which demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of consuming yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) for the proper functioning of the circulatory system.
