Antihypertensive effect of Ganjang (traditional Korean soy sauce) on Sprague-Dawley Rats

摘要

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESAlthough Korean fermented foods contain large amounts of salt, which is known to exacerbate health problems, these foods still have beneficial effects such as anti-hypertension, anti-cancer, and anti-colitis properties. We hypothesized that ganjang may have different effects on blood pressure compared to same concentrations of salt.
