Coconut oil supplementation reduces blood pressure and oxidative stress in spontaneously hypertensive rats
Background Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension and antioxidant compounds have been used in the prevention and treatment of this disease. In this context, coconut oil (CO) was found to have antioxidant property due to its high polyphenol content. In this study, we investigated the effects caused by chronic treatment with CO on mean arterial pressure (MAP), he...
متن کاملSpontaneously Hypertensive Rats CS-045 Does Not Lower Blood Pressure Despite Improvement of Insulin Resistance
Hyperinsulinemia resulting from peripheral insulin resistance has been demonstrated both in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and in humans with essential hypertension. A new class of antidiabetic drugs, thiazolidinediones, which can improve insulin resistance, may be able to lower not only blood glucose levels but also blood pressure. The present study was therefore designed to clarify the...
متن کاملEndothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress during estrogen deficiency in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
BACKGROUND Postmenopausal estrogen deficiency is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk, hypertension, and oxidative stress. Angiotensin type 1 (AT(1)) receptor regulation is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. To characterize vascular function, oxidative stress, and AT(1) receptor regulation during estrogen deficiency, ovariectomized spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR)...
متن کاملMicrovascular pressure, flow, and resistance in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Microvascular resistance (MVR), determined as the ratio of the second-order arteriolar blood pressure (servo-null method) to blood flow (dual-slit), was assessed in the cremaster muscle preparation of 7- to 8-week-old normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The MVR was used as an index of resistance during 1) control conditions; 2) superfusion of graded c...
متن کاملThromboxane synthesis and blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
The present study examines effects of administration of OKY 046, an inhibitor of thromboxane synthesis, for 100 days on systemic blood pressure and renal function in spontaneously hypertensive rats and in normotensive control rats. Untreated spontaneously hypertensive rats had higher values for thromboxane excretion in the urine and higher values for blood pressure than did normotensive control...
