Fig. 1From: Asiatic acid attenuates renin-angiotensin system activation and improves vascular function in high-carbohydrate, high-fat diet fed ratsEffects of asiatic acid on blood pressure and heart rate in conscious rats. Systolic blood pressure (a) and heart rate (b) were measured monthly during the induction periods and weekly during the last 3 weeks of the treatment period. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 14 for each group), p < 0.05. * vs. control group, #vs. MS group. Normal control = normal control rats, MS = metabolic syndrome rats, MS + AA = metabolic syndrome rats treated with asiatic acidBack to article page
