The anti-hypertensive activity of aqueous calyx extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa on salt induce hypertensive albino rats was investigated for 28 days using the non invasive method. The extract and drug treated groups showed a significant (P < 0.01) reduction in diastolic and systolic blood pressure when compared to the normotensive and hypertensive rats. There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) between the drug treated group and the extract treated group during this treatment. Thus, this…

Anti-Hypertensive Effects of Anthocyanins from Hibiscus sabdarifa Calyx on the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldoslestrone System in Wistar Rats.

The results suggest that anthocyanins exerts a significant (p<0.05) anti-hypertensive potency on rats, probably mediated by the reduction in components of the RAAS.

Antihypertensive Effects of Aqueous Extract of Ricinodendron heudelotii (Baill.) Pierre (Euphorbiaceae) in Wistar Rat

Histological analysis showed that Ricinodendron heudelotii restored renal disorders induced by the administration of salt and exerts a cardioprotective effect, and the antihypertensive activity seems associated with an improvement in antioxidant status.

Hypotensive and vascular activities of medicinal plants

The aqueous extract of saffron stigma had hypotensive properties which appear to be attributable, in part, to the actions of two major constitutes of this plant, crocin andsafranal, and safranal was more important than crocin for lowering the blood pressure of rats.

Effect of Different Drying Methods on the Nutritional Value of Hibiscus sabdariffa Calyces as Revealed by NMR Metabolomics

NMR metabolomics indicates that the metabolite composition significantly differs between SD and TD samples and is more stable in TD plant processing, which shows that the TD method is more efficient at reducing moisture and maintaining the ash content of the Hibiscus biomass.

Optimization of an Extraction Solvent for Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors from Hibiscus sabdariffa L. Based on Its UPLC-MS/MS Metabolic Profiling

Interestingly, it was showed that the 80% methanol extract was predominated with secondary metabolites from all classes including flavonoids, anthocyanins, phenolic and organic acids, which indicates that these compounds may significantly contribute synergistically to the ACE inhibitory activity of the 80%, which exceeds that of the standard captopril.

Potential Protective Role of Vitamin E in Lung of Adult Male Albino Rat Exposed to Bisphenol A

Vitamin E protected lungs against BPA induced histopathological changes like inflammation, congestion, inter alveolar septum thickening,Alveolar damage, collagen fibers percent area and fatty infiltration, as depicted by significant decrease in the cluster of differentiation 68 (CD68) +ve cell count and decreased expression of nuclear factor kappa B in immunestained cells of the lung tissue.

Serum Adropin Levels in a Preeclampsia Like L-Name Rat Model Treated with Sildenafil Citrate

Increased maternal adropin levels in preeclampsia like model in rats might represent a regulatory feedback mechanism against endothelial placental dysfunction, insulin resistance, inflammation and oxidative stress which associated with preeclampedia, hence identify it as a potentially protective agent against preeclampia development.

Evaluation of Serum Obestatin Level in Rat Model of Diabetic Nephropathy

Serum OBST levels were significantly elevated in experimentally induced diabetic nephropathy in rats and positively correlated with most of the measured biochemical and renal parameters except for insulin, HDL-C and GFR was negatively correlated.

Ameliorative effect of apelin-13 against renal complications in L-NAME-induced preeclampsia in rats

In conclusion, apelin may be a potentially curative candidate for prohibiting kidney damage and have a therapeutic benefit in PE rat models.

Attenuation of salt-induced hypertension by aqueous calyx extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa.

It is suggested that HS attenuated the development of salt-induced hypertension and this attenuation may be associated with its high K+ content or high potassium: sodium ratio and not with altered pressor/depressor response to noradrenalin or acetylcholine.
