Background: Kuding tea (KT), traditional tea material and widely used in China, has been found to have lipid-lowering effect in clinical and experimental studies. However, there has been no systematic review of the evidence on this subject.
Methods: Eight electronic databases were searched from database inception until September 2021 for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Uncaria rhynchophylla (UR), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been proven effective in treating hypertensive patients in China. However, the mechanisms of action of UR in reducing hypertension and myocardial fibrosis are still unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of UR in an angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) induced mouse model.

Methods: Totally 24 rats were radomly divided into control, ISO, KXA low-dose and high-dose groups according to the randomized block design method, and were administered by intragastric administration for 10 consecutive days, and on the 9th and 10th days, rats were injected with ISO for 2 consecutive days to construct an acute myocardial ischemia model to evaluate the improvement of myocardial ischemia by KXA. In addition, the diastolic effect of KXA on rat thoracic aorta and its regulation of ion channels were tested by in vitro vascular tension test.
