Saffron 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 کاملFormononetin, an isoflavone, relaxes rat isolated aorta through endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent pathways.
We evaluated the vasorelaxation effects of formononetin, an isoflavone/phytoestrogen found abundantly in Astragalus mongholicus Bunge, on rat isolated aorta and the underlying mechanisms involved. Cumulative administration of formononetin, genistein, daidzein and biochanin A relaxed phenylephrine-preconstricted aorta. Formononetin and biochanin A caused a similar magnitude of relaxation whereas...
متن کاملPurinergic endothelium-dependent and -independent contractions in rat aorta.
The role of endothelium-derived contracting factor or factors in modulating relaxations and contractions to adenine nucleotides was examined in aortas from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) and Wistar rats. During contractions to phenylephrine, the relaxations to ATP were impaired significantly in SHR compared with WKY aortas with endothelium. In rings tr...
متن کاملNitric oxide mediated endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by glibenclamide in rat isolated aorta.
OBJECTIVES Glibenclamide was found to act as both a selective ATP-sensitive K(+) channel blocker and a vasorelaxant. The exact mechanisms underlying the relaxant effect of glibenclamide are unknown. The present study was designed to examine the role of endothelium/nitric oxide in glibenclamide-induced relaxation in rat isolated aortic rings. METHODS A combination of experimental approaches in...
