Effects of long-term intake of edible oils on hypertension and myocardial and aortic remodelling in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
The nature of dietary lipid intake contributes to blood pressure control. ⋯ The most beneficial cardiac and aortic structural effects occurred in the fish-oil group. Both canola oil and palm oil were also effective in reducing blood pressure, favouring myocardial remodelling, although they produced contrasting effects with regard to aorta wall structure. Soybean oil and olive oil had mild effects on myocardial and aortic structure.
