Abstract
Aqueous extracts of casimiroa edulis leaves injected intravenously to 20 normal Spague-Dawley rats produced a rapid and transitory increase in blood pressure. The amplitude of the blood pressure rise was dose dependent. The increase was statistically significant (p< 0.01) probably secondary to barorreceptor stimuli. The application of 130 m0sm/1 of the extract did not produce a significant increase in blood pressure, which was followed by a rapid pressure normalization. The slight increase in cardiac rate during the pressure lift was probably due to sympathetic stimuli.
