Bryophyllum pinnatum Inhibits Angiotensin Converting Enzyme and Arginase Activities in Sodium Flouride Induced Hypertensive Rats
ABSTRACT Background: This study investigated the Bryophyllum pinnatum live plant fractions’ effects on the activities of angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE), arginase, blood pressure, and biochemical parameters in sodium fluoride (NaF)-induced hypertensive rats. The results revealed that diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and arginase activity were reduced with increased nitric oxide level compared to hypertensive rats. The aqueous fraction (AQF), n-hexane fraction (NHF), and ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) boosted superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels with reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA) of hypertensive-treated rats. NHF portends the capability to inhibit ACE and arginase activities and enhanced the antioxidant biomarkers.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is an essential reference filled with recent research and other valuable information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. The Journal serves as a focus point through which investigators and others may publish material of importance to the production, marketing, and utilization of these plants and associated extracts. The journal covers the following topics: growth, development, horticulture, ecology, physiology, genetics, chemistry, and economics. Original articles, review articles, and book reviews provide information of interest to an international audience of researchers, teachers, technicians, and managers involved with production and/or marketing of herbs, spices, and medicinal plants. Managers of food companies, food processing facilities, medical research laboratories, government agencies, and others interested in new chemicals, food additives, international trade, patents, and other items can easily review new findings. The Journal of Herbs, Spices & Medicinal Plants is a forum in which recent research and other information associated with herbs, spices, and medicinal plants is shared. The Journal represents a centralized database accessible by investigators within the international community that work with or have an interest in herbs, spices, and medicinal plants.
