Table 1.

Kidney index (kidney weight/body weight, KI) and cardiac index (heart weight/body weight, CI) were calculated after six weeks of treatment with Salicornia europaea extracts (SE) and high edible salt.

Groups	KI (mg·g−1)	CI (mg·g−1)
CTR–SD	6.23 ± 0.31	3.18 ± 0.36
HS–SD	6.46 ± 0.38	2.86 ± 0.15
SE–SD	6.15 ± 0.43	2.72 ± 0.25
CTR–SHR	5.99 ± 0.31	3.62 ± 0.26 *
HS–SHR	6.19 ± 0.20	3.67 ± 0.28 *
SE–SHR	6.47 ± 0.43	3.96 ± 0.25 *

CTR–SD, control SD rat; HS–SD, high edible salt SD rat; SE–SD, Salicornia europaea extract SD rat; CTR–SHR, control SHR; HS–SHR, high edible salt SHR; SE–SHR, Salicornia europaea extract SHR. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. “*” stand for p < 0.05 vs. CTR–SD.
