title: [Effect of propranolol treatment on blood omega-3-fatty acids in hypertension in middle age].
abstract: 18 middle aged patients with primary hypertension stage I were treated with 75-100 mg Obsidan/d over a period of 6 months. After treatment a significant decrease of eicosapentaenoic acid was shown. This result is important because eicosapentaenoic acid belongs to omega-3-fatty acids, precursors of eicosanoids. They are playing a vasoprotective role and inhibit aggregation of the thrombozytes.
