The mechanism of hypotensive effect of garlic extract.

چکیده
Study was designed to elucidate the mechanism of hypotensive effect of garlic extract in dogs. The antagonists for common endogenous hypotensive substances (histamine, Acetylcholine, 5 Hydroxy Tryptamine Kinins and prostaglandins) were tried to confirm or exclude the possibility that garlic extract either acts like or causes release of any one of these endogenous hypotensive agents. The results indicated a possible prostaglandin like effect of garlic extract.(JPMA 35 357, 1985).
