Abstract

AbstractDesoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) administration to rats placed on normal rat feed elevated the mean arterial blood pressure. The consumption of plantain diet by rats previously treated with DOCA lowered the mean arterial blood pressure to control values. DOCA administration to rats previously placed on plantain diet produced no significant change in the mean arterial blood pressure when compared with control.Chronic consumption of plantain diet is capable of lowering the DOCA-induced elevated mean arterial pressure in rats. Plantain diet can also prevent the onset of DOCA-induced hypertension in rats.
