| Popis: | In the present study, we evaluated the effects of the probiotic kefir on the cardiovascular function in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). SHR were chronically administered with oral 0.3 mL/100 g b.w. of kefir (SHR-k) or vehicle (SHR-v) for 60 days and compared with Wistar rats (WR). In comparison with NWR, SHR-v exhibited higher mean arterial pressure, which was significantly attenuated in SHR-k (108±2, 194±5 and 142±8 mmHg, respectively, p |
