Abstract

Influence of Eucommiae Cortex in Korea on the blood pressure of the rabbit was examined, 1) The intravenous injection of 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg of the water extract to the rabbit decreased its blood pressure to $9.7\;{\pm}\;1.9,\;26.4\;{\pm}\;1.7\;and \;35.5\;{\pm}\;2.7\;mmHg$. respectively. 2) The intravenous injection of 10 mg/kg of the water extract did not show any remarkable influence to the blood pressure caused by the intravenous injection of acetylcholine $10^{-8}\;g/kg\; and \;10^{-7}\;g/kg$. 3) The intravenous injection of the water extract after the intravenous injection atropine 2mg/kg did not show any remarkable change to the blood pressure 4) The intravenous injection of the water extract after the intravenous injection of propranolol 2mg/kg slightly decreased the blood pressure.
