Regional haemodynamic parameters: (a) carotid blood flow (CBF), (b) carotid vascular resistance (CVR), (c) renal blood flow (RBF), and (d) renal vascular resistance (RVR) in experimental groups. W-C, normotensive Wistar rats, and SHR-C, spontaneously hypertensive rats, received vehicle. W-TE and SHR-TE groups received thyme extract. and , the significant difference between SHR-C and W-C; , the significant difference between TE treated and appropriate control group.
