A Review of Endothelium-Dependent and -Independent Vasodilation Induced by Phytochemicals in Isolated Rat Aorta
This review discusses the contribution of the use of the isolated rat aorta (IRA) as a model for the evaluation of extracts and metabolites produced by plants with a vasodilator effect in animals.This model continues to be a valuable approach for the search and development of new phytochemicals consumed as medicinal plants or foods.In most cases, t
