Abstract:
Objective: Effect of Zhengjian Granule(ZJ)(Radix Berberidis, Ramulus Euonymi, Radix Scorphulariae Rhizoma Alismatis) on blood pressure(BP) and insulin resistance(IR) in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR) was observed. Methods: Twenty four SHR aged 13 weeks were divided into three groups treated with large and small dosage of ZJ and nothing as compared with age matched six Wister Kyoto rats(WKY). BP, glucose(G) and insulin(I) of fasting, G/I and blood lipid were measured before and after treated 8 weeks and compared among groups. Results: While G of fasting had no difference in respective SHR groups compared with WKY, insulin of fasting was markedly higher and G/I were notably lower than WKY( P
