Abstract EN
Modern research has shown that BanXia BaiZhu TianMa decoction (BBT) has the potential effect of lowering BP in vitro and in vivo.
However, its therapeutic mechanism has not been clearly defined.
The present study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of BBT on the heart by examining heart functioning and anti-inflammatory characteristics and to obtain scientific evidence for its further medical applications.
BBT was extracted by decocting the herb extraction and analysed by HPLC.
The left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was measured, and a histological examination of samples of the heart was performed.
Inflammatory status was investigated by measuring tissue levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor (TNF-α), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and molecules of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway.
The BBT treatment significantly reversed the course of hypertension-derived heart damage.
Meanwhile, the herb formula markedly reduced levels of IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and iNOS.
In addition, the traditional compound suppressed the activity of the NF-κB pathway.
The present study provides evidence of heart protection by BBT in SHRs.
The action mechanisms may be partially attributable to the anti-inflammatory characteristic of the formula.
Understanding the pharmacological action of BBT will benefit its impending use.
