Abstract

The tomato (Lycopersiconesculentum Mill) is a herbaceous plant of the Solanaceae family widely cultivated for its fruit. It is one of the most consumed fruits in the world because of its nutritional potential. Indeed, tomato is rich in secondary metabolites and compounds with antioxidant power known for their beneficial effects on health. This study aims to evaluate the antihypertensive and antihyperhocysteinemic activity of two varieties of tomatoes grown in Côte d'Ivoire, namely Locale côtelette and Cobra F1. To do this, rats made hypertensive and hyperhomocysteinemic were treated at a dose of 50 and 100 mg/kg bw for 8 days with the extracts of these tomatoes. At the end of this treatment, the results indicate a decrease in the serum level of LDL-cholesterol and creatinemia respectively of 79.92% and 18.82% in comparison with those of hypertensive rats which did not undergo any treatment. In addition, serum homocysteine level decreased by 35% compared with untreated hyperhomocysteinemic rats. Moreover, a 13.33% increase in serum HDL-cholesterol was observed. In view of the results obtained, regular consumption of tomatoes could help fight against high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, renal failure and prevent cardiovascular complications such as thromboembolic diseases.
