Antihypertensive Activity of Leersia hexandra Sw. (Poaceae) Aqueous Extract on Ethanol-Induced Hypertension in Wistar Rat

Figure 4

Effects of Leersia hexandra aqueous extract on some markers of oxidative stress. Each bar represents mean ± SEM of 5 rats. NTR: normotensive rats receiving distilled water (10 mL/kg), HTR: hypertensive rats receiving distilled water (10 mL/kg) and ethanol (5 g/kg), L h 100 and L h 200: hypertensive rats receiving ethanol and Leersia hexandra extract at doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg, and Nif. 10: hypertensive rats receiving nifedipine at the dose of 10 mg/kg; 1: p < 0.05, 2: p < 0.01, and 3: p < 0.001: significant difference from normotensive rats; a: p < 0.05, b: p < 0.01, and c: p < 0.001: significant difference compared to hypertensive rats.
