Abstract

High fructose consumption induces hypertension and renal oxidative stress, and herbal supplements (jamu) are potential agents for reversing this damage. This study examined the antihypertensive and antioxidant activity of a jamu formulation by measuring blood pressure and renal superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in fructose-induced rats. Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into six groups: jamu at 0.01 (A1), 0.02 (A2), and 0.03 g/kg body weight (BW) (A3); captopril as the positive control (PC); negative control (NC); and normal control (SC). Rats received 10% fructose for 8 weeks to induce hypertension, continuing concurrently during the 2-week treatment period (weeks 9–10). Jamu supplementation significantly reduced blood pressure and MDA levels and increased SOD activity and GSH levels compared with the NC group (p < 0.05). Two weeks of jamu administration exerted antihypertensive and antioxidant effects, improving blood pressure control and renal oxidative stress markers in fructose-fed rats.
