Objective:To investigate the hypotensive effects of Jiangya Prescription
a Zhuang folk herbal medicine
on spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR). Method: Forty SHRs were randomly divided into five groups
untreated control
the high (2.0 g·kg-1)
middle (1.0 g·kg-1)
low(0.5 g·kg-1)-dosage groups of extract from Jiangya Prescription and captopril group (10 mg·kg-1)
with 8 rats in each group. Wistar-Kyoto rats were used as the blank group. Tail blood pressure was measured every week. Rats were sacrificed to determine serum nitric oxide(NO)
endothelin(ET)
angiotensinogen Ⅱ(AngⅡ) after six weeks of treatment. Result: The extract of Jiangya Prescription could significantly lower blood pressure
meanwhile significantly increase NO content
decrease markedly the content of ET and AngⅡ. There were significant differences with untreated control group(P<0.05
P<0.01). Conclusion: The extract from Jiangya Prescription had a significantly hypotensive effect to SHR. Its mechanism may be related to up-regulation of NO and down-regulation of ET and Ang II.
