Objective： To observe the hypotensive effects of Qindan Capsule （芩丹胶囊, QC） on spontaneous hypertensive rats （SHR） and its effect on the contents of endothelin （ET）, calcitonin gene-related peptide （CGRP） ...Objective： To observe the hypotensive effects of Qindan Capsule （芩丹胶囊, QC） on spontaneous hypertensive rats （SHR） and its effect on the contents of endothelin （ET）, calcitonin gene-related peptide （CGRP） and angiotensin-Ⅱ （Ang-Ⅱ ） in plasma and vascular tissues, and to investigate the possible mechanism of QC in lowering blood pressure. Methods： Forty SHRs were divided into 5 groups： the high dosage QC group [QCHD, 750 mg/（kg.d） ], the low dosage QC group [QCLD, 150 mg/（kgd） ], the Niuhuang Jiangya Pill group [牛黄降压丸,, NJP, 200 mg/（kg.d）], the Captopril group [ 15 mg/（kgd）]and the model group, 8 in each group. Meanwhile, a normal control group consisting of 8 Wistar-Kyoto （WKY） rats was set up also. All the rats were administered with medicine level of ET, CGRP and Ang-Ⅱ in plasma and Ang-Ⅱ rats after 12 weeks of treatment. Results： The leve through gastrogavage. Systolic blood pressure （SBP）, in tissues of mesenteric artery were detected in all the of SBP after treatment in the QCHD group was lower than that in the model group （ P〈0.01 ）, but with no significant difference as compared with that in the Captopril group and the NJP group （P〉0.05）. After treatment, the plasma level of ET was lower and CGRP higher than those in the model group （both P〈0.05）, and also higher than those in the NJP and Captopril group （both P〈0.05）. As for the content of Ang- Ⅱ , in mesenteric arterial tissues, it was lower in the QCHD group than that in the model group （ P〈0.05）, but in plasma, it showed no significant difference between the two groups （P〉0.05）. Conclusion： QC has a satisfactory hypotensive action on SHR rats, and its mechanism may be associated with the regulation on plasma vasoactive peptide and regional renin-angiotensin system.展开更多
