BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT IN RATS USING THE TAIL-CUFF METHOD
Keywords:
Polyphenols, Flavonoids, Natural Antioxidants, Signal Transduction, Wistar Rats, Systolic Blood PressureAbstract
Neurodegenerative disorders are often exacerbated by vascular dysregulation and oxidative stress. Polyphenols have emerged as potent bioactive compounds capable of modulating molecular signaling pathways to preserve neuronal integrity. However, maintaining systemic physiological parameters, such as systolic blood pressure (SBP), is crucial for ensuring the efficacy of these neuroprotective agents.
