Moringa oleifera-Rich Diet and T Cell Calcium Signaling in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

Abstract: Moringa oleifera is a plant whose fruits, roots and leaves have been advocated for traditional medicinal uses. The physico-chemical analysis shows that Moringa oleifera contains more dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) than saturated fatty acids (SFA). The consumption of an experimental diet enriched with Moringa oleifera extracts lowered blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), but not in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats as compared to rats fed an unsupplemented control diet. Anti-C… Show more

“…One study reported that MO had no effects on blood pressure, 28 but another study demonstrated an antihypertensive effect of MO, which was explained by the inhibition of IL-2 secretion and modulation of T-cell calcium signaling, an effect that was not observed in normotensive rats. 29 Thus, in the present study, although the rats had higher blood pressure after consuming the high-fat/fructose diet, they were not notably hypertensive, which may explain the lack of effectiveness of MO treatment on blood pressure.…”

“…Attakpa et al Showed that administration of Moringa oleifera in mice will increase intracellular calcium ion levels in lymphocyte cells and will cause the death of lymphocyte cells by apoptosis. 6 Large increases in free Ca2 + in intracellular space are very toxic 7 , which results in:…”

“…5 Moringa oleifera has two mechanisms for inhibiting Lupus. Moringa has immunosupressant properties by decreasing the number of CD4 T cells (T Helper cells) 6 with cell apoptosis pathways due to excessive calcium influx in cells (Zainal Path) 7 . In addition Moringa oleifera will have an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting nfĶβ 8 .…”

“…The antihypertensive effect of MO leaves had been shown in previous review [ 2 ]. Recent animal studies [ 25 ] have shown that MO leaf exerts antihypertensive effects by inhibiting the secretion of IL-2 and modulates T-cell calcium signaling in hypertensive rats. Therefore, further study of blood pressure lowering effect of Moringa oleifera is needed.…”
