Abstract
GABA tea which was increased of GABA by anaerobic conditions in green tea leaves) was fed in the diet to spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR). The mean systolic blood pressure of SHR fed a diet containing 1.5% GABA tea after 3 weeks was not different with zero day as 177.3mmHg. However, 1.5% green tea and control after 3 weeks were more increased 4.2 percents and 10 percents than in zero day. The plasma levels of aldosterone of SHR fed a diat containing 1.5% GABA green tea after 3 weeks was more decreased 2.5 times than in water treatment.
GABA차를 본태성 고혈압 쥐에 음용시켰을 때, 1.5% GABA차가 포함된 먹이를 섭취한 본태성 고혈압 쥐의 3주 후 수축기 혈압은 처음의 175.53mmHg에 비해 177.35mmHg로 별 차이가 없었으나 대조구는 192.06mmHg로 수축기 혈압이 상당히 증가함을 볼 수 있었다. 혈장 중 aldosterone 농도도 GABA차 1.5% 섭취 쥐는 $248.56{\pm}30.44pg/ml$인데 반해 대조구는 $606.98{\pm}57.79pg/ml$로 2.5배 이상 농도 수준이 낮음을 알 수 있었다.
