Abstract:This study aimed to investigate the effects of the n‐hexane fraction of the ethanolic seed extract of PG (NFESEPG) on hypertension induced by Nω‐nitro‐L‐arginine methyl ester (L‐NAME) in rats. Specifically, the study examined the impact of NFESEPG on blood pressure, oxidative stress markers, NO concentration, angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) and arginase activities, and cardiac biomarkers in hypertensive rats. The study involved collecting, identifying, and processing the PG plant to obtain the ethanolic se… Show more
