Results: TT treatment of diabetic rats reduced pain score only in chronic phase of the formalin test (p<0.05). Meanwhile, SS administration significantly reduced pain score only at chronic phase of the test (p<0.05). Regarding hot tail immersion test, diabetic rats showed a significant reduction in tail flick latency as compared to control ones (p<0.05). Although TT treatment of diabetic rats i...

The effects of methanolic and aqueous extracts of Tribulus terrestris on rat blood pressure (BP) and the perfused mesenteric vascular bed were investigated. The extracts dose-dependently reduced BP in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) with the aqueous fraction being more potent than the methanolic fraction at all doses tested. In vitro, the methanolic but not aqueous extract produced a dos...
