Study Description

Title

Einfluss eines Probiotikums auf Bluthochdruck

Short title

HYPRO

General Short Description

Bluthochdruck ist einer der wichtigsten Risikofaktoren für Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen wie die koronare Herzkrankheit, Herzversagen, Nierenerkrankungen und Schlaganfälle. Trotz einer Vielzahl von Medikamenten liegt nur etwa bei der Hälfte der Behandelten der Blutdruck im empfohlenen Bereich. In einer von uns durchgeführten Pilotstudie ergaben sich Hinweise dafür, dass ein Probiotikum aus 8 lebensfähigen Bakterienstämmen den salzsensitiven Blutdruckanstieg in gesunden Männern verhindern kann. Deshalb untersuchen wir jetzt in einer randomisierten, placebokontrollierten Studie, inwieweit dieses Probiotikum den Blutdruck, das Darm-Mikrobiom, das Immunsystem, den Glucose-Stoffwechsel und die gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualität von Männern und Frauen mit Bluthochdruck Grad 1 beeinflusst.

Scientific Short Description

High blood pressure is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events, including stroke, heart and kidney failure. Typical anti-hypertensive drugs target vessels, the kidneys or the heart. Here we propose a randomized, placebo-controlled study to test the blood pressure-lowering effect of a probiotic in 110 patients with grade 1 hypertension. In addition, we will investigate glucose variability, fecal bacterial metabolome, peripheral blood effector T cell frequencies (%) and health-related quality of life.
