  3. HYPERTENSION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS • Oxidative stress with an imbalance between ROS and the antioxidant defense mechanisms may contribute to the etiology of hypertension, its initiation, maintenance, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and cardiovascular complications

  4. HYPERTENSION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS • Essential hypertension and salt sensitive HT • Diabetes and hypertension • Lead induced hypertension • Uremic hypertension • Cyclosporin induced hypertension • Pre-eclampsia • Nutritional induced (high fat and unrefined carbohydrates) hypertension

  5. HYPERTENSION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS ROS IN HYPERTENSION • ROS has direct action on endothelial cells with structural and functional damage • Degradation of NO by ROS • Effects of eicosanoid metabolism in endothelial cell • Oxidative modification of LDL-c (oxLDL) • Hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinaemia • Increased fatty acid mobilization • Increased catecholamines • Angiotensin II increases O2- via NADPH oxidase

  6. IMPAIRED DEFENSE TO ROS • Increased lipofuscin, increased lipid peroxidation • Increased malondialdehyde, increased lipid peroxidation • SOD decreased in erythrocytes and plasma • Glutathione peroxidase decreased • Decreased vit A • Decreased Vit c

  7. IMPAIRED DEFENSE TO ROS CONTINUED • Decreased vit e • Decreased NO • Increased O2- by PMN and increased H2O2 • Decreased PUFA in RBC membrane • Decreased glutathione • Decreased selenium

  8. Lifestyle changes and SBP metanalysis of clinical diet trials • Intervention reduction in SBP (mmhg) • ---------------- ------------------------------- • Mg++ 0-1 • Ca++ 2 • K+ 4 • Decreasing ETOH 4 • Fish oil 6 • Lowering Na+ 6 • Lowering weight 8 • Exercise 10

  9. Lifestyle modifications and withdrawal of antihypertensive drugs, J Hypertension 1988;6:431-6 • Between 15 and 60% of hypertensive patients withdrawn from antihypertensive drugs remain normotensive for 9 to 36 months on strict lifestyle modifcations of nutrition, weight loss, exercise, alcohol and sodium restriction,etc

  10. PROTEIN, Current atherosclerosis reports 2000:2;521-528 ;Jama 1996:274:1598-1603 • Observational epidemiologic studies indicate a high protein intake reduces BP (non-animal>vs animal protein) in numerous populations • Daily intake recommended1-1.5g/kg/day depending on many factors • Intermap study : inverse relationship of BP with total protein intake and non-animal protein

  11. Protein (continued) • Intersalt study : 10020 subjects, worldwide had lower blood pressure (3/2.5mm hg) with dietary protein >30% above mean vs those 30% below mean (81g vs 44g/day) • Mechanisms : ACEI, reduces SNS (Epeinephrine/NE, natriuresis, inhibits tyrosine kinase, reduces aldosterone, reduces superoxide ion

  12. SOY PROTEIN , Biochem Pharmacol 2000;60:1-5 • Lowers BP and increases arterial compliance • Lowers LDL-c (7%), TC (6%), LDL oxidation • Consume 25g/day • Contains : isoflavones, amino acids, saponins, phytic acid, trypsin inhibitors, fiber, globulins, genistein/daidzen

  13. Whey protein, J dairy Sci 2000;83:255-263 • Significant reduction in BP in animal and human studies • 30-150mg/kg of ion exchange hydrolyzed whey protein isolate reduces MAP 10-18% for 24 hours (p<0.05) • Must be hydrolyzed to be effective • Act as ACEI • 20 men given 200ml whey protein BID x 8 weeks decreased SBP significantly (p<0.05)

  14. Omega 3 PUFA : circ 1992;88:523-33 ; Hypertension 1998;32;710-717 • Meta-analysis 31 studies fishoil and BP showed dose related effect in mild hypertension only : • < 4g/d : no change in BP • 4-7g/d lowered BP by 1.6-2.9mm hg • >15g/day lowered BP by 5.8-8.1mm hg • One percent increase in adipose tissue alpha-linoleic acid content reduced SBP, DBP and MAP by 5mm hg

  15. OMEGA 3 PUFA, current atherosclerosis reports 2000:2:508-515; Hypertension 1999;34:253-60 • Fish 3 x/week lowers BP (herring, haddock, atlantic salmon, trout) • Fish or fishoil + weight loss is additive to lower BP • DHA better to lower BP • Reduced ALA conversion to EPA and DHA (increased linoleic acid in diet omega 6, increased TSFA and TFA in the diet, alcohol)

  16. OMEGA 6 FATTY ACIDS • LA, GLA, DGLA,AA, CLA • GLA ->DGLA -> PGE1 and PGI2 cause vasodilation • GLA blocks stress induced hypertension • (increases PGE1, PGI2, decreases aldosterone, decreases adrenal AT1 receptor density / affinity) • Neurohormonal regulation (SNS, RAAS)-central + peripheral

  17. MUFA (olive oil), arch IM 2000;160: 837-842 • 23 hypertensive subjects studied for 6 months. • Significant reduction in BP 8/6mm hg in extra virgin olive oil group, p<0.05 and >0.01 • Reduces need for antihypertensive drugs in 48% vs 4% in control group • Reduces BP in type II DM • No reduction of BP in normotensive, or non-diabetics

  18. MUFA (olive oil) continued • Rich in oleic acid (w-9) • Extra virgin=5mg phenols/10 g oil • 40g=4 tablespoons full • Increases HDL • LDL-c rich oleate more resistant to ox LDL • Polyphenols = antiooxidants • Replacing dietary olive oil with saturated fat significantly increases BP

  19. Garlic, Heart disease 2000:2;3-9;phytochemistry 1992:31:2389-2391 • Consisten dose dependant BP reduction • Cultivated garlic = allium sativum (not all garlic preparations are processed similarly and not comparable in antihypertensive effect) • Wild uncultivated garlic = allium urisinum

  20. Garlic mechanisms of action • Garlic is a natural ace inhibitor and CCB • ACEi due to flvanolic compounds • Natural CCB / vasodilator (MG) • Increases NO • Decreases sensitivity to NE • Increases adenosine • Vasodilation • Inhibits AA metabolites (TxA2) • Reduces aortic stiffness (improves aortic compliance) • Decreases ROS

  21. Seaweed, J Nutr biochem 2000:11:430-4 • Wakame (undaria pinnatifida) • Most popular edible seaweed in Japan • Ace inhibition similar to captopril • Lowers SBP 14+-3 mmhg, DBP 5+-2mm hg • Ion exchange sodium absorbing/potassium releasing seaweed preparation • Mechanisms : ACEi, 771 minerals, fiber, alginate colloid

  22. Pyridoxine, vit b6 Mol cell Biochem 1998;188;137-148 • B6 increases cysteine synthesis from methionine • Cysteine is precursor of glutathione (antioxidant) • Cyteine nuralizes aldehydes and increases excretion, as does glutathione • Decreases BP • Blocks calcium influx, improves insulin sensitivity • Reduces central sympathetic nervous system activity • Decreases end organ responsiveness to glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids

  23. LYCOPENE, paran study • 30 subjects with HT, age 40-65 • SBP fell 9mm hg (p<0.01) • DBP fell 7mm hg (p<0.01) • Improvement in lipid profile

  24. Coenzyme q10, ubiquinone, Alternative Med Review 1996; (1),(3):171-174 • High correlation of coq10 deficiency and hypertension • Coq10 reduces with age, disease, oxidative stress,statins, CHD, HT, Hyperlipidaemia, DM, aerobic exercise, atherosclerosis, hyperthyroidism • Dose 100-225mg/d…BP reduction occurs at 4-12 weeks after initiation

  25. Coq10 continued • Reduces total dose and frequency of administration of antihypertensive drugs • Lowest serum pretreatment levels of coq10 have best reduction in BP • Average BP reduction in all trials is 15/10mm hg • Improves lipids, CHO metabolism, insulin sensitivity, decreases HR, decreases ROS, improves LV function, ischemia, angina, CHD, CHF, lowers NE levels

  26. VITAMIN C • SBP is reduced proportionately more than DBP, but both are decreased • Epidemiological, observational, cross sectional and controlled studies confirm improvement of both SBP, DBP and HR • Lipid profile seems to be beneficial with small reductions in TC, TG, and LDL and oxLDL, and a slight increase in HDL in women • Dose 200-1000mg/d • Combinations with other antioxidants such as vit e, beta carotene or selenium provide synergistic anti-hypertensive effects

  27. N-Acetyl cysteine (NAC), J Am cell nutr 1986:5:137-151 • SHR study : normalizes BP by binding to excess aldehydes, reducing cytosolic ca and bp • Thiol containing antioxidant, scavenges ROS • Supports glutathione synthesis intracellularly • Increases NO • Calcium channel blocker activity • Lowers homocysteine,lp(a) and platelet aggregation • Improves ED in smokers (600mg)

L-arginine, J clin invest 1991:88:1559-67 • Reduces bp in humans with acute parenteral and chronic oral administration in normotensives, hypertensives, salt sensitive hypertensives, DM and hyperlipidemics • In CHD it increases coronary artery bloodflow and decreases angina • In peripheral arterial disease, blood flow is increased and claudication decreased

  29. Taurine • Clinical use : HT, hyperlipidaemia, arrhythmias, CHD, CHF • Lowers BP, decreases proteinuria, decreases LVH, decreases SNS activity centrally • Human study : fujita (19 hypertensive subjects, 6g taurine x 7 days, lowers BP 9/4.1mm hg(p<0.05) • Mechanisms : diuresis, decreases homocysteine, increases insulin sensitivity, aldosterone • Dose 2-3g
