About this study

Official title: Randomized Double-blind Controlled Clinical Study of the Antihypertensive Effect of Fermented Milk With Lactococcus Lactis NRRL-B50571

The objective of the present work was to evaluate the antihypertensive effect associated with the consumption of fermented milk with Lactococcus lactis NRRL-B50571 on prehypertensive subjects.

Read the detailed description

A double-blind randomized controlled clinical study of an 8-week intervention with 36 hypertensive subjects was carried out to evaluate the antihypertensive effect of fermented milk with Lactococcus lactis NRRL-B50571. Once obtained the informed consent; volunteers were randomized into two groups (n=18) to either receive 150 mL daily: fermented milk with Lactococcus lactis NRRL-B50571 (intervention group) or artificially acidified milk as control (placebo). Both drinks were consumed daily. Participants were asked not to change their diet or lifestyle during the intervention. We applied intention to treat for those participants who did not have good adherence and those who withdraw the study. The outcomes between groups were analyzed using an independent sample Student t test, with a P value of 0.05 or less (two sided) when there was statistical significance; using statistical software.
