Key result
Avocado leaf extract nanoparticles reduce SBP by ~69 mmHg in salt-induced hypertensive rats.
Why the study?
Studies have tested Persea americana Mill. in treating hypertension using extracts, but nanoparticles had not yet been evaluated.
Does avocado leaf extract and its nanoparticles reduce blood pressure in salt-induced hypertensive Wistar rats?
Does avocado leaf extract and its nanoparticles reduce blood pressure in salt-induced hypertensive Wistar rats?
Avocado leaf extract and its nanoparticles effectively reduced blood pressure and inhibited ACE in a rat model of salt-induced hypertension.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Does not support clinical use; leaves open whether avocado leaf nanoparticles lower BP in human hypertension.
Sutiningsih et al. (2023) studied Salt-induced hypertension (n=24). Avocado leaf extract (Persea americana Mill.) and nanoparticles vs. Control group was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure (SBP) reduction. Avocado leaf extract nanoparticles reduced systolic blood pressure by 68.75 mmHg (from 175.00±21.57 to 106.25±9.21 mmHg) in salt-induced hypertensive Wistar rats over 14 days.
