Objective: Diabetes is an important risk factor for cardiovascular events. The great percent of morbidity in patients with diabetes is due to endothelial dysfunction. The present study investigated the effects of hydroalcholic extract of Nigella sativa (N. sativa)  on contractile and dilatation response of isolated aorta in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat. Materials and Methods: Rats ...

Cardiovascular disorders continue to constitute major causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. In this study, the effect of chronic administration of sesame (Sesamum indicum L) seed feeding was studied on aortic reactivity of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats. Male diabetic rats received sesame seed-mixed food at weight ratios of 3% and 6% for 7 weeks, one week after diabetes in...

background and objective: cardiovascular disorders continue to constitute major causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. in this study, the effect of chronic administration of tribulus terrestris (tt) feeding was studied on aortic reactivity of streptozotocin (stz)-diabetic rats and some underlying mechanisms were investigated.    materials and methods: male diabetic rats receive...

The present study was undertaken to determine whether two-month treatment of streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats with aqueous leaf extract of Trigonella foenum-graecum (TFG 200 mg/kg i.p.) could improve thoracic aortic responsiveness and to evaluate its endothelium dependency. For this purpose, vascular responses to KCl and noradrenaline (NA) were measured. Diabetic state significantly increased...

prangos ferulacea is a plant found in the mediterranean and middle-east regions used as carminative, anti-flatulent, emollient and antibacterial herb. it is believed that the coumarins are responsible for some of known effects of  prangos . in this research the relaxant effects of p. ferulacea coumrin rich extract as well as osthole as its main prenylated coumarins were investigated on rat ileu...
