ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:
The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of the consumption of Pomegranate juice (PJ) on blood pressure and lipid metabolism in subjects with dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome. Twelve females with established dyslipidemia and 12 females with metabolic syndrome consumed 300 mL of PJ daily for 2 and 6 weeks respectively. PJ consumption resulted in a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure, and LDL-cholesterol, an increase in the estimated activity of stearoyl-CoA desaturase in the short study, and a significant decrease in the percentage of arachidonic acid and an increase in monounsaturated fatty acids in longer study. These results indicate a positive impact of the consumption of pomegranate juice, in both short and long periods, on lipid metabolism and suggest potential anti-inflammatory and cardio-protective effects.
