Representative acetylcholine (ACh) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) relaxation profiles of thoracic aorta rings from the test animals. (a) ACh-Wistar Kyoto rat (WKY) group; (b) ACh-spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR)-control group; (c) ACh-SHR-Eucommia leaf extract (ELE) group; (d) SNP-WKY group; (e) SNP-SHR-control group; and (f) SNP-SHR-ELE group. ACh and SNP were added cumulatively at concentrations of 10−9–10−4 M and 10−11–10−5 M, respectively, to 0.3 μM phenylephrine (PE)-contracted thoracic aorta rings. PV, papaverine.
