[Retracted] Antihypertensive and Vasorelaxant Effects of Citrus aurantifolia Linn. Fruit: Proposed Mechanisms

Figure 2

Effect of the Citrus aurantifolia aqueous methanol extract on the mean arterial pressure of anesthetized rats. The animals in the control group were treated with normal saline (0.1 mL/kg), and all other groups received an aqueous methanol extract of Citrus aurantifolia (CA) at 20 mg/kg. They were previously treated with atropine at a dose of 2 mg/kg, propranolol at a dose of 1 mg/kg, captopril at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg, and L-NAME at a dose of 20 mg/kg for 10 min before injection of the extract.
