| Research Abstract |
In our previous study, we observed that acute bolus injections of low-dose capsaicin and gingerol decreased blood pressure(BP) with vasodilation via vanilloid receptor-stimulation. In this study, we observed the chronic effects of dietary intake of capsaicin and ginger extract, which contains much gingerol, on BP and aortic morphology and function in renovascular hypertensive model rats. Each diet alleviated the BP elevation, as well as aortic media thickness and the decrements in aortic vasodilation, in the hypertensive model rats, suggesting that dietary intake of capsaicin and ginger extract containing gingerol may have a preventive effect on the onset and development of this kind of hypertension.
