EVALUATION OF ANTIHYPERTENSIVE POTENTIAL OF AERIAL PARTS OF BETA VULGARIS Authors: Chakraborthy GS , SWATI, PATIL NJ AND MANDAL SD*
ABSTRACT
Beta vulgaris, are herbacious biennial root vegetables belonging to the family Chenopodiaceae grown
for their edible root. Beetroot juices are beneficial in reducing blood pressure. A commonly known
plant among practitioners of used by folklore peoples. The aerial parts were screened for its
antihypertensive activity on animal models. It was found that effect of beta vulagris showed
significant antihypertensive activity just like reference drug by significantly reducing the salt induced
hypertension in rats. In conclusion, with sodium intake groups to check the cardiovascular properties
they should be avoiding sodium intake and high fatty diet. Patients with the risk of hypertension and
obesity have proper abrasions towards the regulation sodium intake, which can decrease the risk of
cardiac or renal diseases. Thus it can be concluded that beta vulgaris proves its activity scientifically
as because it is well correlated with the presence of phytoconstituent (flavonoids). The flavonoid
moiety helps in breaking down the excess of fat deposition, acts by the mechanism of liposuction
within the cells, and prevents CVS disorders. Thus, the results suggested that more amount of sodium
in diet could be dangerous with the patients suffering from obese nature or hypertension. Increased
amount of salt holds stress on overworked cardiovascular system. Thus, a reduction in the intake of
sodium serves as a intake which could be very beneficial to human race.
