Blood pressure lowering, antidyslipidemic and nitric oxide modulatory effects of methanol extract of struchium sparganophora leaves on dexamethasone-salt model of hypertension in rats

Abstract: The use of glucocorticoids causes elevation of blood pressure (BP) in man and experimental rats. We evaluated the antihypertensive potential of methanol leaf extract ofStruchium sparganophora (SPA) on dexamethasone-salt-induced hypertension in rats. Rats were assigned randomly to six groups (n=4/group). Group A represented control, while BP elevation (BP≥140/90) was induced in groups B-F via single subcutaneous administration of dexamethasone at a dose of 2 mg/kg with 4% NaCl substituted as drinking water for … Show more

“…All induction dose groups demonstrated that dexamethasone and salt caused test animals to lose weight, this is consistent with research by Adeosun et al, 2021 and research that has been carried out by Filippopoulou et al, 2022 andEl-Sonbaty et al 2019 shows that dexamethasone lost weight in test rats and mice (Adeosun et al, 2021;El-Sonbaty et al, 2019;Filippopoulou et al, 2022). Another study conducted by Saganuwan et al, 2010 showed that giving salt solution to induce hypertension in rats can lose weight (El-Sonbaty et al, 2019).…”

“…In figure I, it was observed that the rats in Groups II, III, IV, V and VI showed decrease in body weight in week 1 of the experiment. This is in agreement with the studies by [31] and [35] who reported decrease in body weight of rats after administration of Dexamethasone but in contrast with the findings of [36], who reported increased body weight after administration of Dexamethasone-salt. In Group II, there was marked increase in body weight when the dexamethasone-salt inducing agent was withdrawn.…”
