The administration of 800mg/day of what tablets during the third trimester of pregnancy was effective in reducing the occurrence of hypertension alone, but it was not effective in preventing of preeclampsia?
I will buy you a steak dinner if you can guess this without cheating

Pharmacologic treatment and normalization of chronic hypertension does not reduce the risk of developing superimposed preeclampsia.
Other therapies that have been tried include low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), supplemental calcium, salt restriction, supplemental magnesium, and fish oil therapy.
None have demonstrated any significant preventive benefit. One recent trial demonstrated some preventive benefit to supplemental antioxidants (vitamins C and E), but these results remain to be confirmed.

The effect of garlic tablet on plasma lipids and platelet aggregation in nulliparous pregnants at high risk of preeclampsia.
Ziaei S, Hantoshzadeh S, Rezasoltani P, Lamyian M.
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medical Science, Tarbiat Modarres University, P.O. Box 1415-111, Tehran, Iran.
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to determine the effect of garlic tablet (Garlet) on plasma lipids, and platelet aggregation and the efficacy of this treatment in the prevention of preeclampsia. STUDY DESIGN: In a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study, 100 primigravidas with positive roll-over test were treated with daily doses of 800mg Garlet/day (n=50) or 800mg/day placebo (n=50) during the third trimester of pregnancy. Serum total cholesterol, LDL-and HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, and platelet aggregation were measured before and after the treatment. Blood pressure, weight, and edema were also examined during the entire study period. RESULTS: In the case group, there was no significant difference in the means of total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglyceride before and after the experiment. Furthermore, the inhibition of platelet aggregation did not show any significant difference before and after the treatment. There were not any significant difference in the means of HDL, LDL, triglyceride, inhibition of platelet aggregation, the means of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), between the two groups, but there was a significant difference in the means of total cholesterol (P=0.038) and hypertension alone (P=0.043). CONCLUSION: The administration of 800mg/day of Garlet during the third trimester of pregnancy was effective in reducing the occurrence of hypertension alone, but it was no effective in preventing of preeclampsia.

shocking!
Only doctors from Iran could have thought of doing such a crazy study.
I'm deeply impressed, but I must admit there is some trace of truth in this booga-wooga study. I am a regular garlic eater and I must say that there are some noticeable differences - weird as it may seem, garlic helps BP to decrease; that's true; I tested that on myself - I ate garlic 7 days in a row and my SBP decreased with 15 mmHg. However, I'm not sure that this decrease in my BP was solely cause by garlic :oops: .
On the other hand, garlic is very toxic if consumed in high quantities :? ;
So, I'll let you decide where you wanna try it or not :wink: .
Gush, this world allows too many doctors to practice medicine 8) .
