High-salt–fat diet: a risk factor for elevated blood pressure associated with dyslipidemia, perturbation in cardio-renal anti-oxidant and pro-inflammatory status in Wistar rats

Background Fatty and salty diets are reported risk factors in the etiology of hypertension, renal and cardiac failure. Oxidative stress and inflammation are biochemical processes in the onset of most diseases. This study sought to evaluate the role of high-salt–fat diet (HS-HFD) on blood pressure (B...

Description
Summary:Background Fatty and salty diets are reported risk factors in the etiology of hypertension, renal and cardiac failure. Oxidative stress and inflammation are biochemical processes in the onset of most diseases. This study sought to evaluate the role of high-salt–fat diet (HS-HFD) on blood pressure (BP), cardio-renal function, redox and inflammatory status. Twelve male Wistar rats were divided into two groups and fed with normal chow and HS-HFD, respectively. Results After 12 weeks, HS-HFD-fed rats showed considerable weight reduction, elevated systolic and diastolic BP. Serum cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were increased, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and triacylglycerol levels were significantly ( p
