Effect of PUFA on patients with hypertension: A hospital based study

Abstract

Findings of the study suggest that omega-3 PUFA dietary supplements augment the benefits of pharmacotherapy in hypertension.

The Alternative Healthy Eating Index Is Associated with a Lower Risk of Fatal and Nonfatal Acute Myocardial Infarction in a Chinese Adult Population

“…Similar to other studies, our study found a higher sodium intake with higher plasma hsCRP (38) and a higher intake of PUFAs was associated with lower SBP (39). In contrast with these individual AHEI-2010 components, the overall AHEI-2010 was not significantly associated with CVD biomarkers.…”

The relationship between omega‐3 fatty acids and blood pressure

“…A placebo‐controlled observational study conducted in 2012 on 100 hypertensive subjects sought to determine the effects of omega‐3 PUFA supplementation on the blood pressure of hypertensive patients. The study also determined whether male and female hypertensive patients respond differently to PUFAs.…”

Can sesame consumption improve blood pressure? A systematic review and meta‐analysis of controlled trials

“…A few mechanisms can be proposed for the observed effect of sesame. A variety of studies suggested that sesamin possesses a notable capacity to enhance antioxidant activity . The antihypertensive effect of sesame, which is demonstrated by experimental studies, can be partly attributed to its antioxidant activities .…”

“…A growing body of research indicates that specific dietary constituents rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and vitamin E may have protective effects on HTN and CVD. Sesame ( Sesamum indicum ) seeds are rich sources of vitamin E and PUFA with the potential to increase the antioxidant pool of the body, promote anti‐inflammatory properties and reduce blood pressure (BP) .…”
