[Serum enzymes in grade I hypertensive patients before and following a change in nutrition in relation to polyene acid and electrolyte content]

Abstract

In patients with mild hypertension the blood pressure reduction through n-3 fatty acids can be improved by an additional increase of the potassium intake. Metabolic processes can be followed up by determinating serum enzymes. By an additional daily intake of 200 g fish for 14 days the metabolism is hardly changed. The increased activity of the transaminases after diet is probably a consequence of the increased protein intake.
