Abstract in brief

  • The study found that eating black sesame meal for 4 weeks can significantly lower systolic blood pressure and improve antioxidant markers, such as reducing lipid malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and increasing vitamin E levels, in people with prehypertension.
  • The results suggest that black sesame meal may have antihypertensive properties by reducing oxidative stress, which is linked to cardiovascular disease risk, potentially helping to prevent heart-related health issues.
  • There was a positive association between decreases in blood pressure and reductions in oxidative stress markers, indicating that the antioxidant effects of black sesame meal may contribute to its blood pressure-lowering benefits.
