Abstract Background and Aims Increased salt intake has been linked to a number of poor effects, such as myocardial remodeling [1], independently of blood pressure level. Yet, many aspects of this remodeling are not well understood. The aim of the study was to find echocardiographic myocardial changes in Wistar rats on high sodium chloride (NaCl) diet, as well as to prove protective effects of diet, containing soy proteins. Method 28 male Wistar rats (age of 2.5-3.0 months) were enrolled in the observational prospective study (4 month) and subdivided into several groups. 1) Standard diet-Control group (C, n = 8, 20.16% protein of animal origin and 0.34% NaCl); 2) High salt diet (n = 10, 8% NaCl); 3) Low-protein diet (n=10, 10% soy protein (SUPRO 760) and 8% NaCl). Tail systolic blood pressure (BP) measurement, as well as echocardiographic examination were performed in anesthetized rats. Statistical analysis was performed with STATISTICA 10 software package. Fisher's LSD test was used. The significance level was <0.05. All data are presented as mean ± SEM. Results Keeping rats on a diet with 8% NaCl did not lead to significant changes in blood pressure (group 2 - 138.0 + 5.0, group 3 - 134.0 + 5.0 mm Hg), compared to C (135.0 + 5.0 mm Hg). On the contrary, left ventricle back wall width in rats of group 2 was significantly higher (1.83 ± 0.09 mm, p <0.02), than in C (1.49 ± 0.10 mm) or animals from group 3 (1, 47 ± 0.09mm). The values of end systolic left ventricle size, interventricular septum width, mitral valve systolic movement and tricuspid valve systolic movement in group 3 were significantly lower (1.67 ± 0.08 mm, 2.18 ± 0.13 mm, 2.70 ± 0.23 mm), than in group 2 (3.26 ± 0.33mm, p <0.037; 2.00 ± 0.12mm, p <0.043; 2.67mm ± 0.15, p <0.0124; 3.56 ± 0.34mm , p <0.0148, respectively). At the same time, left ventricular chamber size and thickness of interventricular septum did not differ significantly. In C animals, mitral valve movement (1.96 ± 0.09 mm; p <0.0008) and tricuspid valve movement (2.35 ± 0.07 mm; p<0.0012) were significantly lower than in rats of group 2 but not differed much from the values found in group 3. Conclusion High sodium containing diet does not necessarily lead to the development of arterial hypertension in Wistar rats, but may cause heart remodeling, while soy proteins counteracts the development of left ventricle hypertrophy, even in case of high sodium consumption.

BACKGROUND. Increased salt intake is associated with a number of cardiovascular events, including increased blood pressure (BP) and the development of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). However, there is much evidence that a high content of sodium chloride in the diet does not always lead to an increase in BP, but almost inevitably causes cardiac remodeling, in particular, LVH. Many aspects of myocardial remodeling induced by high sodium content in the food have not been studied enough. THE AIM of the study was to trace the echocardiographic changes in Wistar rats fed the high salt ration and the high salt ration supplemented with soy proteins.MATERIAL AND METHODS. Echocardiography and BP measurements were performed on male Wistar rats, divided into three groups. The first (control; n = 8) included rats that received standard laboratory feed (20.16 % animal protein and 0.34 % NaCl); the second (n = 10) – animals that received standard feed and 8 % NaCl (high salt ration). The third group (n = 10) consisted of rats who consumed a low-protein diet containing 10 % soy protein isolate (SUPRO 760) and 8 % NaCl. The follow-up period was 2 and 4 months.THE RESULTS of the study showed that: (1) the intake of a large amount of salt with a diet does not necessarily lead to the formation of arterial hypertension; (2) despite the absence of a distinct increase in BP, under these conditions signs of cardiac remodeling, in particular, LVH, appear rather quickly; (3) supplementing a high-salt diet with soy isolates counteracts the development of LVH.CONCLUSION. High salt intake with food can cause heart remodeling, regardless of blood pressure, while soy proteins can counteract this process.

Abstract Background and Aims It is traditionally believed that high consumption of sodium chloride leads to the development of arterial hypertension, which, in turn, will cause heart remodeling. However, more and more evidence is accumulating that a high sodium chloride content in the diet can cause heart damage without increasing blood pressure (BP). This is confirmed in experiments on rats. In addition, in animals of this species, supplementing a high-salt diet with soy proteins can prevent cardiovascular damage. Whether such mechanisms operate in primates remains unclear. Method The study was performed on male Macacus fascicularis. Monkeys were included in the experiment at the age of 4.6 -7.0 years and had a body weight of 5,5-7,5kg. Animals were divided into 3 groups. The first (control) included 5 animals, received standard ration; the second – 5 animals, received diet with high sodium chloride content (8 g NaCl/1 kg of the feed); the third – 6 animals, who were on a diet with high salt contents supplemented by soya isolated proteins (200 g/kg of the feed). In anesthetized animals measured blood pressure and performed an echocardiographic investigation. Follow up period lasted four month. Results Initially, in all groups of animals, blood pressure levels (Mean(SEM)) and echocardiographic parameters did not significantly differ. During the observation period, the studied parameters did not change much. For example, in the first group, an ejection fraction (EF) increased from 61.7(1.67) to 71.6(4.74), %; P=0.045. In the same group, a tendency toward a decrease in the left ventricle end-systolic dimension (1.50(0.056)vs 1.29(0.118), mm; P=0.079) was noted. Whereas the level of systolic and diastolic blood pressures in this group (for example, systolic BP: 115.4(3.95)vs 126.0(5.39), mm Hg; P=0.134) as well as in other groups of monkeys did not change significantly. Nevertheless, after four months of observation, the level of systolic blood pressure in the second group (126.0(5.39) mm Hg) of animals was significantly higher than in the first (103.0(5.54), P=0.0118) and nonsignificantly - in the third (104.0(8.39), mm Hg; P=0.065). EF in the end of follow up period in second group (71.6(4.74%) was significantly higher than in control (58.1(2.72),%; P=0.039) but not in the third group (60.9(5.03),%; P=0.162). Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in second group (1.02(0.08), mm) had an insignificant tendency to increase in comparison to the first (0.782(0.096), mm; P=0.094) or third (0.818(0.049), mm; P=0.052) groups. Conclusion Our data do not exclude the possibility that a high salt content in the food of lower primates can contribute to an increase in blood pressure and a change in heart function. However, to resolve the issues of the relationship between changes in heart function and the level of blood pressure and the presence of the cardioprotective effect of soy proteins under these conditions, longer observations are needed.

SummaryWe have previously shown abnormalities of haemostasis suggestive of intravascular coagulation in patients with malignant hypertension, a condition associated with retinopathy and renal fibrin deposition. To determine whether such abnormalities are specific to malignant hypertension, we have measured several haemostatic and haemorheological variables in 18 patients with malignant hypertension (Group 1), 18 matched healthy controls (Group 2), and 18 patients with non-malignant hypertension (Group 3) matched for renal pathology, blood pressure and serum creatinine with Group 1. Both Groups 1 and 3 had increased mean levels of fibrinogen, factor VIIIc, beta-thrombo- globulin, plasma viscosity and blood viscosity (corrected for haematocrit); and decreased mean levels of haematocrit, antithrombin III and platelet count. Mean levels of fast antiplasmin and alpha2-macroglobulin were elevated in Group 1 but not in Group 3. We conclude that most blood abnormalities are not specific to malignant hypertension; are also present in patients with non-malignant hypertension who have similar levels of blood pressure and renal damage; and might result from renal damage as well as promoting further renal damage by enhancing fibrin deposition. However increased levels of fibrinolytic inhibitors in malignant hypertension merit further investigation in relation to removal of renal fibrin.


To identify the prevalence of early pathology of cardiovascular diseases, a survey of 400 200 girls) in the age group 15 and 17 years old was conducted as a part of routine medical of the level of blood pressure (BP) was carried out, with the calculation of the average level pressure on the basis of three separate measurements estimated by percentile tables for a registration of a standard resting ECG in 12 leads. According to the results of the survey, into 3 groups: with an increase in blood pressure above 95 ‰ (group 1 – 16 people), which recorded in males (p<0,05); Group 2 (67 people) – adolescents with a normal blood pressure level and group 3 of adolescents with a decrease in blood pressure below 5 ‰ changes in the form of rhythm and conduction disturbances were noted in almost every a predominance of sinus tachycardia in the first group. In the third group of adolescents, form of ectopic rhythm and pacemaker migration were significantly more frequently only 78 % of adolescents were referred for consultation and in-depth examination by a pediatric cardiologist.

High dietary intake of linoleic acid lowers arterial pressure, and, in vitro, linoleic acid inhibits the enzymatic activity of renin. The purpose of the present study was 1) to evaluate the effect of intravenous infusion of linoleic acid on blood pressure in normotensive and hypertensive Sprague-Dawley rats and 2) to determine whether the hypotensive response to linoleic acid infusion is caused by inhibition of circulating renin. Blood pressure was decreased (P less than 0.01) by linoleic acid infusion in normotensive sodium chloride-deprived animals and in animals with two-kidney, one-clip hypertension. In contrast, linoleic acid infusion did not affect blood pressure in normotensive rats on a "normal" or high sodium chloride intake, in rats with deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertension, and in anephric rats. In sodium chloride-deprived rats, the reduction of blood pressure by linoleic acid infusion was associated with increased plasma renin activity (P less than 0.05); serum angiotensin-converting enzyme activity was unchanged. The in vitro enzymatic activity of exogenous renin in plasma of anephric rats was not affected by linoleic acid infusion. In two-kidney, one-clip hypertensive animals, pretreatment with indomethacin did not alter the hypotensive response to linoleic acid. Thus, although linoleic acid infusion lowered blood pressure in high renin but not in low renin states, the reduction of blood pressure was not related to inhibition of circulating renin or to alterations of endogenous prostaglandin biosynthesis.

The effect of selective dietary sodium and (or) chloride loading on blood pressure and renal blood flow (RBF) in the rat angiotensin II (AII) model of hypertension was determined. AII (200 ng/min) or saline was infused intraperitoneally. Diets were provided with either high or low concentrations of sodium, chloride or both ions for 22 days. The blood pressure of saline-treated animals was not increased by the high sodium chloride diet. Animals on a high sodium, high chloride diet had a significantly greater increase of blood pressure at 8, 15, 18, and 22 days of AII infusion compared with AII-treated animals on a low sodium, low chloride diet (p < 0.05). Selective dietary loading of either high sodium or chloride in AII-treated rats produced no greater elevation of blood pressure than AII with the low sodium, low chloride diet. Selective high dietary chloride was associated with a lower RBF in AII- and vehicle-treated rats compared with low dietary chloride. The chloride effect on RBF was greater in AII-treated animals. In conclusion, both sodium and chloride are necessary to produce the maximum increase of blood pressure in AII animals. AII enhances the decreased RBF induced by dietary chloride.Key words: angiotensin II, sodium chloride, blood pressure.

Solanum gilo (eggplant) is an edible vegetable whose leaf is reported to possess numerous medicinal properties due to its rich constituents. Against this backdrop, there is possibility that its consumption may have effect on haematological indices. Therefore this research sought to assess the effect of Solanum gilo leaf diet on some haemotological indices of albino wistar rats. About twenty four (24) albino wistar rats weighing between 120-150mg were randomly assigned into four groups of six animals each. Each rat was allowed to drinking water ad labitum. Control group received normal rodent chow while group 2 was fed 5% Solanum gilo diet. Group 3 was fed 10% Solanum gilo diet and group 4 received 20% Solanum gilo diet. The different diets were prepared by mixing different proportions of ground S. gilo leaves with rodent chow. Automated blood cell analyzer (Model PCE 210, Japan) was used for analysis of haematological parameters. Preliminary study on its proximate composition, showed the appreciable presence of crude fat, protein, fibre and carbohydrate. Consumption of S. gilo caused significant improvement in some blood parameters; notably packed cell volume (PCV), white blood cell (WBC) and platelet counts. Hence, eggplant is a nutritious vegetable with healing, the therapeutic and immunity properties. If exploited in human diet has the potentials of improving quality of life.

Background: Blood pressure of ischemic stroke patients is a potentially modifiable clinical prognostic factor during acute period. However, BP changes dynamically over time and its temporal variation during acute stage has not received much attention. Methods: From a total of 3795 acute ischemic stroke patients who arrived within 24 hours after onset, we selected 2723 eligible patients who had more than 5 systolic blood pressure (SBP) measurements during 24 hours after arrival. To predict group SBPs for 8 time-points during the first 24 hours, a measured SBP reading was imputed to the nearest missing point. Trajectory grouping of acute stroke patients was estimated using PROC TRAJ, with delta BIC and prespecified modeling parameters. Early neurological deterioration (END) was captured during admission and recurrent vascular events was collected through a structured telephone interview at 1 years after. Results: Of the included cases, mean age at onset was 68 ± 13 year-old. NIHSS score at arrival was median 4 [2, 10] and recanalization treatment was done in 598 (22%). Hypertension was diagnosed in 1930 (71%). Based on 48,445 SBP readings during the first 24 hours after arrival, stroke cases were grouped into 5 distinct SBP trajectories as shown in the Figure: Group 1 (low BP), 17%; Group 2 (stable BP), 41%; Group 3 (rapidly stabilized SBP), 11%; Group 4 (higher SBP), 23%; Group 5 (extremely high SBP without stabilization), 8%. Trajectory grouping was independently associated with END and recurrent vascular events (see Figure). Group 1 had low odds of having END (adjusted OR [95% CI]; 0.62 [0.44-0.87], but Group 4 and 5 showed higher probability of having END (1.34 [1.04-1.73] and 1.76 [1.22-2.51]) and recurrent vascular events until 1 year (1.28 [1.00-1.64] and 1.82 [1.29-2.55]). However, Group 3 had comparable risks with Group 2. Conclusion: It was documented that SBP may successfully grouped into distinct trajectories, which are associated with outcomes after stroke.

Gotukola or Centella asiatica (L.) Urban contains high flavonoids which well known as fatty liver protector. This study aimed to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of chewable tablet of C. asiatica (L.) Urb extract (CTCE) in Wistar rats induced by high fat diets. Twenty-one Wistar male rats aged 8-12 weeks with body weight ranging from 100-150 g were used in this study. Rats were randomly divided into seven groups i.e. Group 1 as normal control, rats were given standard food, Group 2 as high fat diets control, rats were induced high fat diets (HFD),Group 3 as positive control, rats were induced HFD and given simvastatin, Group 4 as placebo control, rats were induced HFD and given placebo, Group 5-7 as treatment group, rats were induced HFD and given CTCE at doses of 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg BW, respectively. The HFD induction was conducted for five weeks andthe CTCE was given for one week in the last week of the induction. At the end of the intervention, blood triglyceride levels and SGPT as well SGOT activities were examined. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with confidence interval of 95% (p<0.05) was applied. The results showed that the HFD induction increased the serum triglyceride levels and SGPT activity. The serum triglyceride levels and SGPT activity of Group 2 were significantly higher than Group 1 (p<0.05). Furthermore, the simvastatin and CTCE administration reduced the serum triglyceride levels and SGPT activity. The serum triglyceride levels and SGPT activity of Group 3, 5, 6and 7 were significantly lower than Group 2 and 4 (p<0.05). In addition, the serum triglyceride levels and SGPT activity of Group 5, 6 and 7 were significantly lower than Group 3 (p<0.05). In conclusion, CTCE can reduce the serum triglyceride levels and SGPT activity in Wistar rats induced by HFD.
