Receptor mechanisms of thymoquinone-induced hypotension in normotensive rats

Nigella sativa (NS), more commonly known as ‘’Habbattu Sauda’’, is a plant that is traditionally used to control hypertension. Evidence based studies revealed that NS exerts diuretic and blood pressure lowering effect in spontaneously hypertensive rat. While the volatile oil of NS acts centrally by...
