ABSTRACT |
Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect and mechanism of Geupoongjibo-dan s relaxation of the tension of the blood vessel caused by Phenylephrine and KCl.
Methods : In order to study the effect of Geupoongjibo-dan' s relaxation of the blood vessel tension, Geupoongjibo-dan extract was infused into Phenylephrine and KCl-induced contracted rabbit aorta strips. To analyze the mechanism of Geupoongjibo-dan s effect on the blood vessel, Geupoongjibo-dan extract infused into Phenylephrine and KCl-induced contracted strips induced by agonists after treatment of N -nitro- L-arginine, Methylene Blue.
Results: 1. Geupoongjibo-dan was very effective in relaxing the blood vessels contracted by Phenylephrine. 2. Geupoongjibo-dan was effective against Phenylephrine, than against KCI. 3. Geupoongjibo-dan s more relaxation effect on a blood vessel was terminated by N -nitro-L-arginine and methylene treatment.
Conclusion: THis study showed that Geupoongjibo-dan s relaxation effect on a blood vessel is irrelevant to -adrenalin receptor, and it relaxes contracted vessels through cGMP channel. |
Key words:
Geupoongjibo-dan extract, relaxation effect, blood vessel s tension. |
