Blackcurrant Suppresses Metabolic Syndrome Induced by High-Fructose Diet in Rats

Figure 4

Effects of BC on systolic blood pressure (a), vascular tone in thoracic aorta effect of a BC on sodium nitroprusside-induced contraction in thoracic aorta (b), and effect of a BC on acetylcholine-induced relaxation in thoracic aorta (c). Values were expressed as mean ± S.E. (). and versus Cont.; and versus HF. SNP: sodium nitroprusside; ACh: acetylcholine; Cont.: control; HF: high fructose; BC1: blackcurrant 100 mg/kg/day; BC2: blackcurrant 300 mg/kg/day.
