1 sie 2019 · Policosanol contains a mixture of concentrated primary aliphatic alcohols extracted from sugar cane wax and is recognized as a cholesterol-lowering drug but previous studies reported that it could be helpful for reducing blood pressure as well.
Consumption of policosanol for 8 weeks in healthy female subjects resulted in lowered blood pressure and CETP activity via elevation of HDL/apoA-I contents and enhancement of HDL functionalities, including cholesterol efflux and insulin secretion.
The results suggest that long-term policosanol consumption simultaneously reduces both peripheral BP and aortic BP accompanied by elevation of HDL-C and % HDL-C in TC in a dose-dependent manner.
1 wrz 2022 · Another study suggests that the prolonged consumption of Policosanol significantly reduces peripheral blood pressure as well as aortic blood pressure in healthy Korean subjects in a dose-dependent manner (Kim et al., 2018).
14 mar 2019 · In healthy subjects (38 persons) with normal cholesterol levels, PC at dose of 10 and 20 mg/day significantly reduced TC by 10.7% and 11.3%, respectively, while PC at 20 mg/day showed a significant reduction of LDL-C by 22% and an increase in HDL-C by 29.93%. Body weight, blood pressure, and liver enzymes were not altered by PC . Recent ...
8 mar 2023 · This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of 20 mg of Cuban policosanol in blood pressure (BP) and lipid/lipoprotein parameters of healthy Japanese subjects via a placebo-controlled, randomized, and double-blinded human trial.
24 kwi 2018 · Although short-term consumption of policosanol has been shown to reduce brachial blood pressure (BP) accompanied by increased HDL-C concentration and antioxidative functionality, correlations of BP reduction with enhancement of HDL-C in TC remain to be investigated in a long-term study.
