Deans' stroke musings: Renoprotective effect of virgin coconut oil in heated palm oil diet-induced hypertensive rats

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Renoprotective effect of virgin coconut oil in heated palm oil diet-induced hypertensive rats

I bet your doctor will never get ahead of clinical trials in humans for this and update your diet protocol for your high blood pressure. You can't do this on your own, way too dangerous.

Abstract

Virgin coconut oil, rich in antioxidants was shown to attenuate hypertension. This study aimed to investigate the effects of virgin coconut oil on blood pressure and related parameters in kidneys in rats fed with five-time-heated palm oil. Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups. Two groups were fed with five-time-heated palm oil (5HPO) (15%) diet and the second group was also given virgin coconut oil (1.42 ml/kg, oral) daily for 16 weeks. The other two groups were given basal diet without (control) and with virgin coconut oil. Systolic blood pressure was measured pre- and post-treatment. After 16 weeks, the rats were sacrificed and kidneys were harvested. Dietary 5HPO increased blood pressure, renal thiobarbituric acid reactive subtances (TBARS) and nitric oxide (NO) contents, but decreased heme oxygenase (HO) activity. Virgin coconut oil prevented the increases in 5HPO-induced blood pressure and renal NO content as well as the decrease in renal HO activity. The virgin coconut oil also reduced the elevation of renal TBARS induced by the heated oil. However, neither dietary 5HPO nor virgin coconut oil affected renal histomorphometry. In conclusion, virgin coconut oil has a potential to reduce the development of hypertension and renal injury induced by dietary heated oil, possibly via its antioxidant protective effects on the kidneys.
