“…Previous studies have demonstrated also that there are several compounds which could be responsible for the plants diuretic effects such as flavonoids, saponins or organic acids (Maghrani et al, 2005). The effect may be produced by stimulation of regional blood flow or initial vasodilation (Stanic and Samarzija, 1993), or by producing inhibition of tubular reabsorption of water and anions (Pantoja et al, 1993), the result in both cases being diuresis. The increased sodium and water excretion activity also provides strong basis for its proved anti-hypertensive action (Jouad et al, 2001).…”

“…Previously it has been well established that increased regional blood flow, vasodilation or an inhibition of tubular secretion contributes to an increased urinary excretion (Stanic and Samarzija, 1993;Pantoja et al, 1993). Hence, any of these processes could be associated with diuretic effect of the extract.…”

“…Um dos fatores que contribui para isto é o alto custo dos medicamentos industrializados (Brandão et al, 1998). No Brasil, esse fato fi ca evidente quando se observa que mais de 50% da sua população fazem uso de plantas medicinais e de produtos fi toterápicos (Soares, 2002), inclusive para tratamento da hipertensão arterial.A hipertensão arterial é uma doença altamente prevalente em nosso meio, atingindo cerca de 15 a 20% da população adulta com mais de 18 anos, chegando a alcançar índices de 50% nos idosos (Mion Jr et al, 2001).Uma das plantas usadas no tratamento da hipertensão arterial é o alho (Allium sativum) (Pantoja et al, 1991), que também apresenta efeitos natriurético e diurético (Pantoja et al, 2000), antiagregante plaquetário e fi brinolítico (Rahmam, 2001) e cardioprotetor na reperfusão e na isquemia (Pedrazza-Chaverri, 1998).Outra planta que tem efeito sobre a pressão arterial é o capim-limão (Cymbopogon citratus), cuja ação anti-hipertensiva, e também diurética, foi citada por Carbajal et al (1989). No Brasil, tem sido empregada popularmente como remédio para vários distúrbios gastrintestinais e nervosos, não apresentando efeitos tóxicos (Lorenzetti et al, 1991).…”
