Effect of zishuijianghuoyin on expression of lymphocyte AngII receptor (AT-1) mRNA of experimental hypertension rats / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the immuno-neurologic regulation of hypertension and its inherent law as well as the mechanisms of curing and systemic regulating effect of ZiShuiJiangHuoYin(ZSJHY).</p><p><b>METHOD</b>To detect expression level of AT-1mRNA in two-kidney-one-clamp renal hypertension rat lymphocyte cell by means of RT-PCR.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The level of AT-1 mRNA in lymphocyte was higher in group of 2K1C-RHR than that in normal group. ZSJHY (20 g/kg, 40 g/kg) had regulating effect on this.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Depressing excessive expression of lymphocyte AT-1 mRNA may be one of the mechanisms where ZSJHY exert immunoregulation action.</p>
