Ethanolic extract alters the vasomotor reactivity of aortic rings from obese rats
March 6th, 2006
Ethanolic extract of Spirulina maxima alters the vasomotor reactivity of aortic rings from obese rats. According to recent research from Mexico, "Aortic rings with endothelium excised from fructose-fed obese rats develop more tension in response to phenylephrine and relax less in response to carbachol than corresponding rings from lean rats. This altered vascular reactivity is prevented when Spirulina maxima is added to the fructose-rich diet." D. Mascher and colleagues at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico explained, "In the present study the effects of a raw ethanolic extract of Spirulina maxima on the vasomotor...
