也許大家平常會聽說，血壓高的患者應該少喝茶或是咖啡，不過這裡有篇有趣的論文， 有興趣的人不妨做做參考。 當然，舒張壓過高的人不論是什麼都還是少喝的好... Effects of oolong tea on renal sympathetic nerve activity and spontaneous hypertension in rats . Metabolism , Volume 57 , Issue 4 , Pages 526 - 534 M . TANIDA abstract ============================================================= In a previous study, evidence was presented that oolong tea (OT) reduced abdominal fat accumulation in diet-induced obese mice. In the study presented here, we examined the sympathetic and cardiovascular effects of intraduodenal injection of OT in urethane-anesthetized rats and found that it suppressed renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) and blood pressure (BP). In addition, pretreatment with the histaminergic H3-receptor antagonist thioperamide or bilateral subdiaphragmatic vagotomy eliminated the effects of OT on RSNA and BP. Furthermore, OT drinking for 14 weeks reduced BP elevation in spontaneously hypertensive rats. These results thus suggest that OT may exert its hypotensive action through changes in autonomic neurotransmission via an afferent neural mechanism. Moreover, we found that intraduodenal injection of decaffeinated OT lowered RSNA and BP as well as OT, indicating that substances other than caffeine contained in OT may function as effective modulators of RSNA and BP. ============================================================ --
