Potassium Channel Activation Is Involved in the Cardiovascular Effects Induced by Freeze Dried (Lam.) DC Fruit Juice.

This work aimed to explore the cardiovascular effects induced by freeze-dried juice from Syzygium jambolanum (Lam.) DC fruits (JSJ). JSJ presented high polyphenol content and steroids.

Essential oil composition and antinociceptive activity of Thymus capitatus.

Context: The essential oil (EO) from Thymus capitatus Hoff. et Link. (Lamiaceae) has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties, such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.

Participation of the TRP channel in the cardiovascular effects induced by carvacrol in normotensive rat.

Carvacrol has been described as an agonist/antagonist of different transient receptor potential (TRP) channels and voltage-dependent calcium channels (Cavs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of Cav and TRP channels following carvacrol stimulation. Initially, in mesenteric artery rings carvacrol relaxed phenylephrine-induced contractions.
