Recovery time: the time when the averaged readings of MAP, SBP, DBP, and HR were no longer significantly different as compared to the initial baseline values. MAP: recorded mean arterial blood pressure in millimetres of mercury, HR: recorded heart rate in beats per minute, AESP: aqueous extract of S. polyanthum leaves, met-AESP: residual methanolic extract of S. polyanthum leaves, WKY: Wistar-Kyoto rats, SHR: spontaneously hypertensive rats, n.a: there were no changes observed in the baselines of MAP, SBP, DBP, and HR upon administration of the respective doses. |
