Resumen
La hipertensión (HTA) actualmente es uno de los graves problemas de salud mundial. Factores como el estrés, la disfunción endotelial y la remodelación vascular se asocian con la hipertensión. Los antioxidantes (vitamina C y/o E) pueden modular el estrés oxidativo y reducir la presión arterial. El objetivo principal es determinar el efecto de la suplementación de Vitamina C y/o E en la regulación de la presión arterial. Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda de ensayos clínicos aleatorizados en distintas bases de datos como Pubmed y Web of Science. Se obtuvieron 32 artículos para la revisión sistemática, de los cuales 14 ensayos son con suplementación vitaminas C, 12 con suplementación de vitamina E y 6 artículos presentaban ambas vitaminas. La suplementación de vitamina C muestra evidencias significativas para reducir la presión arterial, mientras que la vitamina E y la combinación de ambas vitaminas no presentan resultados concluyentes.
Hypertension (HTN) is currently one of the world's most serious health problems. Factors such as stress, endothelial dysfunction, and vascular remodeling are associated with hypertension. Antioxidants (vitamin C and/or E) can modulate oxidative stress and reduce blood pressure. The primary objective is to determine the effect of vitamin C and/or E supplementation on blood pressure regulation. A search for randomized clinical trials was conducted in various databases such as PubMed and Web of Science. Thirty-two articles were obtained for the systematic review, of which 14 trials involved vitamin C supplementation, 12 involved vitamin E supplementation, and 6 articles included both vitamins. Vitamin C supplementation shows significant evidence for reducing blood pressure, while vitamin E and the combination of both vitamins show inconclusive results.
