Polygonum viviparum L. induces vasorelaxation in the rat thoracic aorta via activation of nitric oxide synthase in endothelial cells
BACKGROUND In the past several decades, Polygonum viviparum L. (PV) was reported to have antibacterial, antiulcer, antioxidant, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antiarthritic properties. The anti-inflammatory pathway was recently elucidated through cytosolic nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activation and heme oxygenase (HO)-1 protein expression. PV is a perennial herb and widely dist...
متن کاملSaffron Induced Relaxation in Isolated Rat Aorta via Endothelium Dependent and Independent Mechanisms
Crocus sativus L. (saffron) is a widely used food additive for its color and taste. The hypotensive effects of saffron have been shown in previous studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of vasodilatory effects induced by saffron on isolated rat aorta.To study the vasodilatory effects of saffron aqueous extract (0.5, 1 and 2 mg/mL), isolated rat thoracic aorta rings were co...

متن کاملMantidis ootheca induces vascular relaxation through PI3K/AKT-mediated nitric oxide-cyclic GMP-protein kinase G signaling in endothelial cells.
Mantidis ootheca (Sang Piao Xiao) is well known mantis eggs in a foamy pouch. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the underlying cellular mechanisms of the nitric oxide (NO)-releasing property of the aqueous extract of Mantidis ootheca (AMO) in rat aorta and vascular endothelial cells. AMO was examined for its vascular relaxant effect in isolated phenylephrine-precontracted rat ...
متن کاملEndothelium-dependent vasorelaxation induced by black currant concentrate in rat thoracic aorta.
We investigated the effect of black currant (BC) concentrate on smooth muscle in rat thoracic aorta. BC concentrate dose-dependently relaxed the norepinephrine (0.1 microM)-precontracted aorta, and the response was abolished after endothelium removal. Both oxyhemoglobin (1 microM), a nitric oxide (NO) scavenger, and IH-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo-[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ, 0.5 microM), an inhibitor of...
