Evaluation of the Antihypertensive Activity of Eggplant Acetylcholine and γ-Aminobutyric Acid in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats.

Summary

Daily consumption of eggplant powder containing acetylcholine (ACh) can alleviate hypertension and improve mental status. A study was conducted to determine the effect of the compound γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on the antihypertensive effects of eggplant. The results showed that ACh is the main component associated with the antihypertensive effects of eggplant but GABA within eggplants has a minimal effect in this regard. Therefore, ACh is a more effective functional food constituent for lowering blood pressure compared to GABA.
