A group of essential hypertensives were treated for a period of six weeks with groundnut oil or safflower oil compared with a control group who were given a placebo medication. A significant drop in diastolic pressure occurred in the groups receiving the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) preparation. In another group of eight patients, who were already receiving traditional antihypertensive therapy, supplementation with PUFA rich oil resulted in a significant reduction in blood pressure. Further, after the end of the treatment period, an increase in diastolic pressure was found six to eight weeks later with return of pressures to approximately the pre-treatment level. These preliminary observations suggest that PUFA rich vegetable oils may be useful in the control of mild-to-moderate hypertension.
一组原发性高血压患者用花生油或红花油治疗六周，与给予安慰剂药物的对照组进行比较。接受多不饱和脂肪酸（PUFA）制剂的组舒张压显著下降。在另一组八名已经接受传统抗高血压治疗的患者中，补充富含PUFA的油导致血压显著降低。此外，在治疗期结束后，六至八周后发现舒张压升高，血压恢复到大约治疗前水平。这些初步观察结果表明，富含PUFA的植物油可能有助于控制轻度至中度高血压。
