Does Spirulina maxima improve lipid profiles and blood pressure in a Mexican population?
Does Spirulina maxima improve lipid profiles and blood pressure in a Mexican population?
Spirulina maxima demonstrates potential antihyperlipidemic and antihypertensive effects in a preliminary open sample.
Spirulina maxima was associated with improved lipids and BP; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
The Spirulina maxima showed a hypolipemic effect, especially on the TAG and the LDL-C concentrations but indirectly on TC and HDL-C values. It also reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
