Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the primary reason for chronic heart diseases and mortality worldwide. Hypertension (HTN) is the utmost dominant risk factor for the evolution of several diseases. Herbal medicines, traditional medicinal herbs, and their extracts are widely utilized to treat and monitor HTN. Herbal components have been shown to help relax arteries and lower oxidative stress. The current study assesses the probable role of herbal plant extract Lagerstroemia speciosa (LS) in the LNAME induced HTN in rats. LNAME (50 mg/100 mL) in drinkable water was given to rats for five weeks. There was a significant upsurge in LNAME-treated hypertensive rats' blood pressure (BP). On treatment with LS, it ameliorates blood pressure. Further, LS also improved body weight, reduced heart weight, and heart hypertrophy. The NO/cGMP concentration was lowered along with a substantial upsurge in the level of glutathione and a decline in MDA level. The LS extract also reduced the inflammatory cytokine markers in the systemic circulation. In conclusion, thus, the extract of LS treatment can efficiently alleviate the BP, oxidative stress markers, and inflammation and improve NO/cGMP concentration in LNAME induced HTN in rats.
