Department of Physiology, Delta State University, Abraka (Nigeria).
The levels of serum total antioxidant were investigated in sixty-two consenting hypertensives and fifty-eight normotensives selected from the suburb of Abraka in Delta State, Nigeria, using recognized techniques. The total antioxidant values obtained for the male and female hypertensives were 1.36±0.20mM and 1.53±0.18mM, respectively. However, the comparable values for the normotensive subjects are 1.98±0.22mM and 1.84±0.14mM. Hypertension significantly reduces (p<0.05) total antioxidant level in both gender. The role of antioxidant supplementation in the clinical course of hypertension should be explored.
