Does Pueraria reduce blood pressure
It works!
Pueraria has alpha receptor and angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocking effect, which is better than other antihypertensive drugs. In particular, it may reverse the cardiac hypertrophy caused by hypertension. Puerarin can make the significantly increased plasma endothelin (ET) level return to normal quickly, so one of the mechanisms of Puerarin in the treatment of hypertension may be that it can inhibit the excessive release of ET, promote the recovery of endothelial function, then activate the activity of PG12 synthetase, significantly increase the production of EC PG, inhibit the aggregation of blood platelets, and play a role in improving blood circulation. High dose puerarin can reduce blood sugar and serum cholesterol.
