Marine organisms have been recognized as rich sources of bioactive compounds with valuable nutraceutical and pharmaceutical potentials. Recently, marine bioactive peptides have gained much attention because of their numerous health beneficial effects. Notably, these peptides exhibit various biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, anti-human immunodeficiency virus, anti-pro...

Phytochemicals are versatile plant secondary metabolites with therapeutic properties. In this review, we explore lemongrass’s phytochemistry and pharmacological potential (Cymbopogon) as well its impact on gut microbiota. Lemongrass is well-known for antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive, anti-diabetic, anti-mutagenicity, anxiolytic properties, hypoglycemic hypolipid...

Tribulus terrestris is a herbal remedy which is used for various purposes in folk medicine. It has been used as tonic, aphrodisiac, astringent, analgesic, stomachic, anti-hypertensive, diuretic and urinary anti-septic. It is about 30 to 70cm high; it grows as a summer annual, has pinnately compound leaves, yellow flowers and stellate shaped carpel fruits. Since the past decades, some plants hav...

Intracellular Ca is increased in the platelets of hypertensive individuals. Previously, we demonstrated that platelet plasma membrane Ca-ATPase (PMCA) activity inversely correlates with diastolic blood pressure and that inhibition of this Ca pump could explain the elevation of cytosolic Ca in hypertension. More recently, we discovered that PMCA is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues during thro...

1. Atenolol (ICI 66.082, Tenormin) is a new beta-adrenoreceptor-blocking agent, devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic and membrane-stabilizing properties. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier. 2. Atenolol given to hypertensive patients in initial open trials reduced arterial blood pressure significantly. 3. A double-blind comparison between atenolol and placebo in forty-five patients with es...

Objective: To determine the impact of lifestyle on optimization blood pressure in adult hypertensive patients
 Study Design: Quasi-experimental study.
 Place and Duration Study: Pak Emirates Military Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan, Aug 2019 to Jan 2020
 Methodology: The study population comprised 200 hypertension patients reporting for routine follow-up. Patients were divided into...

Intracellular Ca(2+) is increased in the platelets of hypertensive individuals. Previously, we demonstrated that platelet plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) activity inversely correlates with diastolic blood pressure and that inhibition of this Ca(2+) pump could explain the elevation of cytosolic Ca(2+) in hypertension. More recently, we discovered that PMCA is phosphorylated on tyrosine resi...
