Figure 1

The maximal reduction of (a) systolic blood pressure, (b) diastolic blood pressure, and (c) heart rate caused by intravenous administration of oligopeptides (1–1000 μg/kg BW) in normotensive rats. The results are expressed as mean ± SEM; 𝑛=6; *𝑃<0.05; **𝑃<0.01; and ***𝑃<0.001 compared with before injection. ^#𝑃<0.05, and ^###𝑃<0.001 compared with saline injection.
