PMID: 19352068 Abstract Title:  Antihypertensive effects of sesamin in humans. Abstract:  Sesamin, one of the lignans contained in sesame, has been considered to have medicinal effects. It has been reported that sesamin suppressed the development of hypertension in rats. In this study, using a double-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled trial, we investigated the effect of 4-wk administration of sesamin on blood pressure (BP) in mildly hypertensive humans. Twenty-five middle-aged subjects with mild hypertension were divided into two groups, matched by age and body mass index. Twelve subjects were allocated to 4-wk intake of capsules with 60 mg sesamin per day and 13 subjects to 4-wk intake of a placebo (period 1). After a 4-wk washout period, the subjects received the alternative administration for 4 wk (period 2). BP decreased with statistical significance with the administration of sesamin (systolic: 137.6+/-2.2 to 134.1+/-1.7 mmHg, p=0.044, diastolic: 87.7+/-1.3 to 85.8+/-1.0 mmHg, p=0.045), but little changed with the placebo (systolic: 135.0+/-1.8 to 135.1+/-1.7 mmHg, diastolic: 85.9+/-1.2 to 86.6+/-1.2 mmHg). In conclusion, 4-wk administration of 60 mg sesamin significantly decreased BP by an average of 3.5 mmHg systolic BP and 1.9 mmHg diastolic BP. These results suggest that sesamin has an antihypertensive effect in humans. Epidemiological studies suggested that a 2-3 mmHg decrease in BP reduces the rate of cardiovascular diseases; therefore, it is considered that BP reduction achieved by sesamin may be meaningful to prevent cardiovascular diseases. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/antihypertensive-effects-sesamin-humans" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/antihypertensive-effects-sesamin-humans#comments high blood pressure Hypertension Lignans Antihypertensive Agents Phytotherapy Plant Extracts Human Study Tue, 27 Dec 2022 21:23:38 +0000 greenmedinfo 268526 at https://greenmedinfo.com Magnesium Supplements Improve Metabolic Syndrome https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/clone-magnesium-supplements-improve-metabolic-syndrome-1 <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2014<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><img alt="Magnesium Supplements Improve Metabolic Syndrome" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/stebu/images/Magnesium.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 500px;" /></p> <p>The importance of <strong><a href="/substance/magnesium">magnesium</a></strong> to human health is under-appreciated. &nbsp;This one essential mineral promotes heart health, normal blood pressure, healthy nerve and muscle function, a strong immune system, and a good memory.&nbsp;</p> <p>And magnesium is particularly important for regulating blood sugar and the metabolism.&nbsp; In fact, <strong><a href="/blog/magnesium-deficiency-symptoms-and-diagnosis?page=2">magnesium deficiency can predict both diabetes and heart disease</a></strong>.&nbsp; Studies show people who consume the most magnesium in their diet are least likely to develop <strong><a href="/disease/diabetes-mellitus-type-2">type 2 diabetes</a></strong>.&nbsp; And unfortunately, diabetics lose more magnesium than most people.</p><p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/clone-magnesium-supplements-improve-metabolic-syndrome-1" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/clone-magnesium-supplements-improve-metabolic-syndrome-1#comments Almond Avocado Beans: All Broccoli Cardiovascular Diseases Chlorella (Algae) Diabetes high blood pressure Hyperinsulinism Magnesium Seaweed Sesame Seeds Spirulina Cardiovascular Disease Diabetes high blood pressure hyperinsulinemia Magnesium Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:04:24 +0000 mmking 112681 at https://greenmedinfo.com Reverse Insulin Resistance With These 8 Foods https://greenmedinfo.com/blog/reverse-insulin-resistance-these-8-foods <div class="copyright">This article is copyrighted by GreenMedInfo LLC, 2023<br/><strong><a href="/greenmedinfocom-re-post-guidelines">Visit our Re-post guidelines</a></strong></div><p class="rtecenter"><img alt="Reverse Insulin Resistance With These 8 Foods" src="//cdn.greenmedinfo.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/stebu/images/turmeric_ginger.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 336px;" title="Reverse Insulin Resistance" /></p> <p><em style="font-size: 18px; letter-spacing: 0px;"><strong>Research indicates that you don't need drugs to control blood sugar.
