Peripheral Antihypertensive Mechanisms Of Zing/Ber Officinale Var. Rubrumin Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

Hypertension has been associated with end-organ damage that may eventually lead to stroke, heart, and renal failure. Blood pressure variability is possibly the most important determining factor for the end-organ damage. Zingiber officinale var. rubrum (ZOVR) (Halia bara) is a Malay traditional me...
