چکیده مقاله:

Objective(s):To know whether Scurrula atropurpurea is able to modulate total plasma nitrate/nitrite levels, decrease endothelial damage, and increase endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in hypertensive rats. Materials and Methods: The rats were divided in 5 groups: control (normotensive) group, Desoxy cortico sterone (DOCA)-salt hypertensive group, and three DOCA-salt hypertensive groups. All 5 groups received methanolic extract of S. atropurpurea (MESA) at a dosage of 50; 100; and 200 mg/KgBW. Serum nitric oxide (NO) was assayed by colorimetric. Circulating endothelial cells (CECs) and EPCs were assayed using flow cytometry. Results: The administration of MESA100 and MESA200 elevated the total plasma nitrate/nitrite levels but cannot reach the level in control group.  MESA100 and MESA200 also elevated the EPCs number compared with hypertensive group. The administration of MESA significantly (P< 0.05) decreased the CECs number compared to hypertensive groups. Conclusion: Methanolic extract of S. atropurpurea is able to modulate total plasma nitrate/nitrite levels and diminish endothelial damage via increasing EPCs.

The Effect of Some Herbal Extracts on Nitric Oxide Production in Endothelial Cells 3T3 Cell Line

Introduction: Some studies have demonstrated the potential of herbal drugs for the treatment of various diseases associated with impaired vascular nitric oxide (NO). For diagnosis of the mechanism of these herbal plants, it seems necessary to evaluate the herbal extracts on the Endothelium cell. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of extract of Trigonella foenum-graecum (T.foenum...

Decrease in renal medullary endothelial nitric oxide synthase of fructose-fed, salt-sensitive hypertensive rats.

We investigated the expression of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) in the kidneys of fructose-fed insulin-resistant rats (FFR) with a low- or high-sodium diet. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a control (C) or high-fructose (40% fructose; F) diet, with each coming in low-sodium (0.024% NaCl; LS-C or LS-F) or high-sodium (3% NaCl; HS-C or HS-F) varieties, for 2 weeks. Half of the FFR were orally ...
