| Group | Heart | Kidney | Aorta |
|---|---|---|---|
| (Units) | (g/100 g BW) | (g) | (mg/mm2) |
| Salt solution | 0.440 ± 0.017 | 1.262 ± 0.085 | 0.149 ± 0.018 |
| Nenrin | 0.443 ± 0.026 | 1.240 ± 0.058 | 0.149 ± 0.014 |
| Shinki | 0.449 ± 0.016 | 1.272 ± 0.082 | 0.136 ± 0.006*,** |
Salt solution, group given salt solution; nenrin, Marukome Nenrin miso group; and shinki, Marukome shinki miso with potent ACE inhibitory activity miso group. Values are expressed as means ± SD (n = 10 in each group). Differences were assessed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Fisher’s least significant difference post-hoc test (LSD test)
*P < 0.05 vs salt solution, **P < 0.05 vs nenrin
