Antihypertensive activity of Rosa rugosa Thunb. flowers: Angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitor

Antistress Effects ofRosa rugosaThunb. on Total Sleep Deprivation–Induced Anxiety-Like Behavior and Cognitive Dysfunction in Rat: Possible Mechanism of Action of 5-HT6Receptor Antagonist

“…Revision accepted 29 April 2016. and antioxidant effects. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Recent studies have reported the efficacy of R. rugosa for the treatment of exercise-induced stress by decreasing oxidative stress levels. 33 However, few studies have investigated its antistress effects, especially those induced by sleep deprivation.…”

CHANGES IN QUALITY INDICATORS OF MINIMALLY PROCESSED WRINKLED ROSE (Rosa rugosa Thunb.) PETALS DURING STORAGE

“…In traditional Chinese medicine, R. rugosa is recommended for strengthening the blood circulation and liver function as well as for treating anxiety states, digestive problems and tuberculosis [Zhong et al 2009, Chen et al 2015b. The findings of Xie and Zhang [2012] confirmed its antihypertensive properties resulting from the inhibition of angiotensin I converting enzyme. On the other hand, Kamijo et al [2008], who cultivated pulverized petals on plates, found that these exhibited a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on the growth of Bacteroides vulgatus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, and Staphylococcus aureus, whereas they had no effect on bifidobacteria or lactobacilli.…”

Moreover, the petals also contain β-carotene, fatty oil, bitter substance and wax [Xie and Zhang 2012]. In traditional Chinese medicine, R. rugosa is recommended for strengthening the blood circulation and liver function as well as for treating anxiety states, digestive problems and tuberculosis [Zhong et al 2009, Chen et al 2015b.…”

The influence of electron beam radiation in the nutritional value, chemical composition and bioactivities of edible flowers of Bauhinia variegata L. var. candida alba Buch.-Ham from Brazil

“…Beyond these attractive characteristics, several edible flowers are also rich in different nutrients and bioactive compounds such as proteins, carbohydrates, sugars, organic acids, terpenoids, carotenoids, flavonoids and vitamins (Mlcek & Rop, 2011). Due to the presence of bioactive compounds, especially flavonoids, edible flowers are also described as having different bioactivities such as antioxidant (Kumar, Bhandari, Singh, & Bari, 2009), antihypertensive (Xie & Zhang, 2012), antibacterial (Ammar et al, 2015), or antitumor (Sagdic et al, 2013), among others.…”
