The Possible Effects of Healthy Veggie Broccoli on Hypertension

By Kyle J. Norton

Blood pressure is the force of the blood pushing against the arterial walls. In high blood pressure, the heart has to work harder than normal to pump blood through the circulation system. Over time, high blood pressure has been found to cause damage to the heart and arteries.

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a condition characterized by persistent high blood pressure.

In the US approximately, one-third of the adults have high blood pressure, affecting over 77 million people in the country.

Additionally, among adults age 20 and older in the United States, in the non-Hispanic whites community, 33.4 percent of men and 30.7 percent of women are infected by the syndrome.

High blood pressure is a slowly developed condition. Unless the syndrome has caused damage to the blood vessel, otherwise symptoms cannot be detected.

High blood pressure is a chronic condition associated with an unhealthy lifestyle and chronic diseases such as kidney disease, leading to the onset of strokes and cardiovascular disease.

In other words, if you can control your diet, such as making changes to lifestyle, maintaining ideal weight and diet with low salt, you could do just fine without the drugs.

The cause of high blood pressure is a result of hardening and thickening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), due to the slow progression of plaques accumulated on the wall of the arteries.

According to the American Heart Association (AHA) patients with blood pressure that higher than 130 over 80 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) is considered to have hypertension.

Untreated chronic high blood pressure may induce complications of heart attack, stroke, and other health conditions.

Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The vegetable has large flower heads, usually green in color and the mass of flower heads is surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant on the continent of Europe.

On finding a potential plant that processes anti-high blood pressure, researchers examined the broccoli protein hydrolysates inhibitory activity in vitro and hypotensive effect in vivo.

According to the results of the analysis,
* Three ACE inhibitory peptides were isolated and identified as IPPAYTK, LVLPGELAK, and TFQGPPHGIQVER, and their inhibitory IC50 values were 23.5, 184.0, and 3.4 μM, respectively.

* LVLPGE and LAK, two novel peptides exhibited the highest ACE inhibitory activity associated with lowering hypertension with IC50 values of 13.5 and 48.0 μM, respectively.

* Moreover, the hypotensive effect of the peptides was assessed after oral administration to spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHRs).

Collectively, researchers said, "LVLPGE and LAK demonstrated a significant hypotensive effect in vivo. Protein from broccoli may thus constitute a potential antihypertensive peptide source".

Taken altogether, broccoli may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of hypertension, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
