The effect of Celery uptake and smoking on some blood parameters in hypertensive patients at different ages

Abstract

The present study was conducted on a group of Patients (25 males and 25 females) who revealed blood hypertension ( P<0.05) with increasing blood viscosity through ( PCV% ) measurement. This study investigate the effect of Celery uptake at three levels ( slight , moderate and heavy ) and the effect of smoking on some blood parameters ( Hb gm% , PCV% ) and blood pressure.The patients were divided in to 5 groups according to the age (20 – 29 ), ( 30 – 39), ( 40 – 49 ) , ( 50 – 59 ) and ( 60 – 69 ) years. Each group included 10 patients ( 5 males and 5 females ). While control group ( healthy ) which is represent non – smokers 10 ( 5 males and 5 females ).The results demonstrated the role of Celery on lowering blood pressure in all groups in comparison with age ( 60 – 69 ) years, that characterized by hypertension and elevation of ( Hb gm% ) ; ( PCV% ). The blood pressure , a(Hb gm% ) and ( PCV% ). were increased ( P<0.05 ) in smokers for one packet, two packets and three packets in comparison with the control group.There was a decrease ( P<0.05 ) in ( Hb gm%) ; (PCV% ) and blood pressure, in slightly consumption Celery group in comparison with moderate and heavy groups. The effect of sex was significant ( P<0.05 ) on blood parameters, blood pressure in females group in comparison with males.We concluded that the Celery uptake has an important role in decreasing blood pressure in all different age groups, especially in hypertensive patients in this study in comparison with ( 60 – 69 ) years group. And also in smoking group and eventually to reduce negative effect of smoking that causing an elevation in blood pressure, this effect may be related to the presence of Butyl – phthalide ( 3nB ) which causing Vasodilatory leading to lowering blood pressure.
