Vasodilatory effects of mulberry (Morus spp.) leaf extract on porcine cerebral arteries in vitro: Possible underlying mechanisms

Vasodilatory effects of mulberry (Morus spp.) leaf extract on porcine cerebral arteries in vitro: Possible underlying mechanisms

Vasodilatory effects of mulberry leaf extract (MLE) and its possible underlying mechanisms on porcine basilar artery (PBA) were investigated by measuring changes in isometric tension in vitro. MLE slightly relaxed 60 mM KCl pre-contracted PBA rings (9.4% at 540 μg/mL). A treatment with MLE induced e...
