EFFECT OF TOTAL FLAVONES OF HIPPOPHASE RHAMNOIDES ON ISOLATED VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLES / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

Total flavones of hippophase rhamnoides (TFH) inhibited the contraction of isolated rabbit aortic preparations induced by KCl, CaCl_2 and noradrenaline (NE), shifted the dose-response curvesto the right and depressed the maximal response. PD_2' values were 5.79, 5.75 and 5.81 respectively. TFH could also reduce Ca~(2+) -dependent contraction in rabbit aortic preparations. These results suggest that relaxation of vascular smooth muscles caused by TFH may be due to TFH natagonistic effect on transmembrane Ca~(2+) channels.
