Summary

Adipose tissue stromal vascular fraction (tSVF) effectively treats erectile dysfunction (ED) in hypertensive rats by preserving penile tissue and inhibiting pathological changes. This therapy shows promise for improving ED in high blood pressure patients.

The Antihypertensive Effects and Mechanisms of Huotan Jiedu Tongluo Decoction in Rats with H-Type Hypertension

Here, we present a protocol to induce H-type hypertension and evaluate the antihypertensive effects of Huotan Jiedu Tongluo decoction (HTJDTLD) administered intragastrically. In rats with H-type hypertension, HTJDTLD had effective antihypertensive effects, possibly associated with inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced apoptosis pathway activation.
