href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/methylglyoxal-a-new-marker-of-glycemic-variability\/\">Methylglyoxal<\/a> (MGO) is a molecule produced during sugar metabolism, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/inflammation-from-sugars-and-glycation\/\">particularly during glycation<\/a>, when sugar residues bind to proteins. This process is accelerated by excess refined sugars and high glycemic index carbohydrates. <strong>MGO is a potent promoter of oxidative stress<\/strong>, capable of damaging endothelial cells that line blood vessels. When the endothelium is damaged, arteries become stiffer, promoting an increase in blood pressure. Additionally, MGO promotes inflammation by inducing the activation of other pro-inflammatory cytokines. In this way, methylglyoxal plays a central role in the mechanisms underlying high blood pressure, linking excessive sugar intake not only to diabetes, as commonly thought, but also to hypertension.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>BAFF (B-cell Activating Factor)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/baff-a-multitasking-molecule-why-measure-it-and-how-to-deal-with-it\/\">BAFF<\/a> is a cytokine primarily known for its role in regulating the immune system. However, BAFF also has functions beyond immunity. It is secreted by adipose tissue, acting as an adipokine, and is involved in the regulation of metabolism and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/insulin-resistance-sugar-induced-inflammation-and-weight-loss\/\">insulin sensitivity<\/a>. Excessive production of BAFF in adipose tissue can contribute to chronic inflammation associated with obesity, which in turn is a risk factor for hypertension. Moreover, <strong>BAFF stimulates a systemic inflammatory response that can worsen endothelial damage<\/strong>, leading to arterial stiffness and increased resistance to blood flow. The result is a vicious cycle of inflammation and high blood pressure, further exacerbated by metabolic dysfunction.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-9379c18\" id=\"high-blood-pressure\" data-block-id=\"9379c18\"><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><strong>High blood pressure and inflammation: what can we do?<\/strong><\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p>In addition to conventional treatments, such as antihypertensive medications, scientific research is increasingly focusing on strategies aimed at <strong>reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines<\/strong> through healthier diet and lifestyle choices.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, to effectively treat and prevent hypertension, it is not enough to adopt a generic diet. Low-grade chronic inflammation can have highly individualized causes, often linked to excessive sugar consumption or specific food groups that maintain elevated inflammatory states. In other words, for an anti-inflammatory diet to be truly effective, it must be personalized.<\/p>\n\n<p>A key step in <strong>establishing a personalized anti-inflammatory diet<\/strong> is performing specific products, such as the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/perme-test\/\"><\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/product\/perme-recaller-program\/\">PerM\u00e8 Recaller Program<\/a><\/strong><\/strong>, which measures the presence of BAFF  and Methylglyoxal (MGO), factors often overlooked in conventional clinical exams. These markers provide a more complete picture of the body&#8217;s inflammatory status, as we&#8217;ve previously explained. Additionally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/product\/perme-recaller-program\/\">PerM\u00e9 Recaller Program,<\/a> by also measuring food-specific IgG antibodies, can identify if and how much these immunoglobulins, which participate in inflammatory stimulation, are<strong> linked to dietary habits or specific foods<\/strong>. <strong>If these foods are consumed excessively, they could be the &#8220;hidden enemy&#8221; in managing blood pressure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>At the same time, increasing physical activity, such as a daily brisk walk of about 20 minutes, can help lower pro-inflammatory cytokines like BAFF and improve insulin sensitivity, thereby reducing the risk of hypertension.<\/p>\n\n<p>Lastly, <strong>reducing the intake of saturated fats and increasing the consumption of healthy fats<\/strong> (such as those found in oily fish, nuts, and olive oil) can help lower vascular inflammation.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Hypertension is a complex condition that goes beyond simply elevated blood pressure. Chronic inflammation, driven by molecules such as MGO and BAFF, plays a central role in sustaining high blood pressure and worsening cardiovascular health. Understanding these mechanisms and addressing them, whether through lifestyle changes or targeted therapies, can provide new opportunities to prevent and treat hypertension effectively. Personalized reports, like the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/product\/perme-recaller-program\/\">PerM\u00e8 Recaller Program<\/a><\/strong>, allow us to tackle the hidden inflammatory factors at their root, paving the way for a more informed and targeted approach to health management.<\/p>\n\n<p><em><em>By the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/the-scientific-editorial-team\/\">Scientific Editorial Team at GEK Lab<\/a><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-11692d3\" id=\"related-articles\" data-block-id=\"11692d3\"><style>.stk-11692d3 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:30px !important}@media screen and (max-width:1023px){.stk-11692d3 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:30px !important}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text has-text-align-center\">Related articles<\/h3><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-grid uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top uagb-post__image-enabled uagb-block-ea6d35cb     uagb-post__items uagb-post__columns-3 is-grid uagb-post__columns-tablet-2 uagb-post__columns-mobile-1 uagb-post__equal-height\" data-total=\"1\" style=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"uagb-post__inner-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__image'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/cardiovascular-diseases-prevention-on-your-plate\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\" class='uagb-image-ratio-inherit'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/La-dieta-che-aiuta-il-cardiologo_articleimage-5.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"alimentazione e malattie cardiovascolari\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/La-dieta-che-aiuta-il-cardiologo_articleimage-5.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/La-dieta-che-aiuta-il-cardiologo_articleimage-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/La-dieta-che-aiuta-il-cardiologo_articleimage-5-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"uagb-post__title uagb-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/cardiovascular-diseases-prevention-on-your-plate\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Cardiovascular diseases: prevention on your plate<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post-grid-byline'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post__excerpt'>\n\t\t\t\t\tNutrition can play a crucial role in preventing and counteracting inflammatory conditions and, consequently, cardiovascular&#8230;\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"uagb-post__inner-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__image'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/cardiovascular-diseases-the-role-of-low-grade-inflammation\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\" class='uagb-image-ratio-inherit'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Malattie-cardiovascolari-e-rischio-cardiaco-e-se-i-grassi-non-c-entrassero-nulla_articleimage-4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"malattie cardiovascolari\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Malattie-cardiovascolari-e-rischio-cardiaco-e-se-i-grassi-non-c-entrassero-nulla_articleimage-4.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Malattie-cardiovascolari-e-rischio-cardiaco-e-se-i-grassi-non-c-entrassero-nulla_articleimage-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Malattie-cardiovascolari-e-rischio-cardiaco-e-se-i-grassi-non-c-entrassero-nulla_articleimage-4-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"uagb-post__title uagb-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.geklab.com\/en\/cardiovascular-diseases-the-role-of-low-grade-inflammation\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Cardiovascular diseases: the role of low-grade inflammation<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post-grid-byline'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post__excerpt'>\n\t\t\t\t\tThe term &#8220;low-grade inflammation&#8221;
