Effect of celery on blood pressure parameters in hypertensive
patients
Results for SBP, DBP, MAP, and PP obtained during treatment with celery
and placebo and their cross-over condition are summarized in Table 4.
There was no statistically significant difference between the celery
(SBP: 142.06±5.11 and DBP: 92.05±5.52 mmHg) and placebo (SBP:
140.54±5.77 and DBP: 91.99±5.73 mmHg) groups at the beginning of this
study (t-test, unpaired, P>0.05). This table shows that all
BP parameters did not change during the placebo treatment
(P>0.05), while the abovementioned parameters significantly
decreased after celery treatment (P<0.001). The mean reduction
in SBP and DBP were 11.08 and 6.54 mmHg, respectively, during celery
therapy (P<0.001).
