Vasorelaxant and Antihypertensive Effects of Bergenin on Isolated Rat Aorta and High Salt-Induced Hypertensive Rats

Table 1

Reveals the percent decrease in the BP and heart rate (HR) with different doses of bergenin in rats.

Dose (mg/kg)	Normotensive rats		Hypertensive rats
	BP (%)	HR (%)	BP (%)	HR (%)
Control	99.9 ± 0.06	99.4 ± 0.04	99.2 ± 0.10	99.7 ± 0.07
0.003	7 ± 0.64	20 ± 1.23	10.50 ± 0.93	25 ± 1.02
0.03	24 ± 2.28	25 ± 1.84	31.50 ± 1.45	28 ± 3.04
0.3	42 ± 0.62	40 ± 1.03	48.75 ± 2.84	39 ± 2.04
3	58 ± 2.05	48 ± 2.30	68.75 ± 2.52	56 ± 3.14

Values were tabulated as mean ± SEM for six experiments, where  < 0.05,  < 0.01 and  < 0.001 vs. Control.
