摘要
1. 1. Intravenous infusion of berberine to rats lowered the blood pressure in a dose-dependent manner and a significant hypotensive effect was followed by bradycardia. These effects were also observed in bilaterally vagotomized rats. 2. 2. Berberine further lowered the blood pressure in rats under maximal blockage by pentolinium. 3. 3. Berberine inhibited rat auricular cholinesterase. The inhibition on true acetylcholinesterase was found to be more pronounced than on non-specific cholinesterase. This inhibition process may contribute to the hypotensive action of berberine. 4. 4. The above observations indicate that the hypotensive effect of berberine may involve the heart performance. © 1979.
