B. monnieri improved hemodynamics in isolated rat hearts. a coronary flow (ml/min) using normal perfusate (control) and perfusate containing 30 or 100 μg/ml B. monnieri extract for 30 min, b coronary flow, %, c LVDP, %, d HR, %: b-d expressed as percentage of mean data from the same heart compared to the 10 min stabilization using normal perfusate and e mean expressed as the average of each parameter after application of normal perfusate or perfusate containing B. monnieri extract for 15 min onward. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 8-10 hearts) and *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001 for 30, 100 μg/ml B. monnieri compared to control, ^## p < 0.001 for 30 μg/ml compared to 100 μg/ml B. monnieri
