Abstract

The present study examined the effect of alcohol extract of Isaria sinclairii on blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The blood pressure and heart rate were measured after treatment of alcohol extract of Isaria sinclairii by indirect tail cuff method and direct in vivo model. Male SHR were treated with extracts for 2 or 4 weeks starting at 12 weeks of age. (omitted)
