The effects of diets containing 2% and 4% calcium (Ca) on deoxycorticosteron (DOC) salt hypertension were studied in 29 male rats weighting 210-260 g. Rats were categorized into four groups: Group I: control rats (6), group II: DOC hypertensive group (n=8), group III: DOC-low Ca diet (2% CaCl 2 ) (8) and group IV: DOC-high Ca diet (4% CaCl_2 ) (n=7). During the six weeks follow up period, indirect systolic blood pressure (SBP) was highest in group II while it was found to be less increased in group III and IV. Weight increase was lowest in group IV (P

Objectives : It is usually accepted that some of the treatments affect not only the survival times but as well the quality of life of patients. The aim of study is to reach more reliable conclusions by using the meta-analysis method on published studies which deal with the effects of antihypertansive theraphies on the quality of life of patients. Material and Methods : Meta-analysis is used to combine the results of different experiments or studies examining the same question. Meta-analysis is a systematic reviewing strategy for adressing research question that is especially useful when results from several studies disagree with …
