Abstract

Xueling(p.o.) obviously reduces the aldosterone content of renal hypertension rats, but not affecting markedly the endothelin, atrial natriuretic factor, calcitonin gene-related peptide, thromboxane B2 and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1 alpha. The content reduction of aldosterone is one of the mechanisms to lower blood pressure.
