The results are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 10). Values with the same superscript letter on the same column are not significantly different (p < 0.05).

Control: Normotensive control rats placed on basal diet; induced: Hypertensive rats placed on basal diet; L-NAME + AT: Hypertensive rats placed on basal diet + atenolol (10 mg/kg/day); RG Control: Normotensive rats placed on basal diet supplemented with 4% turmeric; RG + L-NAME: Hypertensive rats placed on basal diet supplemented with 4% turmeric; WG Control: Normotensive rats placed on basal diet supplemented with 4% ginger; WG + L-NAME: Hypertensive rats placed on basal diet supplemented with 4% ginger.
