Hypotensive and Antihypertensive Effects of Total Aqueous Extract of Justicia secunda Vahl M. (Acanthaceae) in Rabbits
Abstract: The total aqueous extract of the leaves of Justicia secunda (Acanthaceae) from 1.25 to 75 mg/kg of body weight (BW) induced a dose-dependent hypotension in rabbits. The hypertension induced by adrenaline at 5.10-4 mg/kg of BW is reduced by AJse administered at doses ranging from 10 to 30 mg/kg BW in dose-dependent manner (P
