    Cardiovascular effects of piperine in anaesthesized dogs
    (1994-01-01) U. Hatthakit; K. K. Shida Pang; P. Piyachaturawat; Mahidol University
    Cardiovascular responses to intravenous administration of piperine were investigated in anaesthetized dogs. Piperine produced biphasic effects on the arterial blood pressure, depressor and pressor effects. In the presence of vagus nerves, low doses.... Verapamil (0.15 mg kg -1 ), a calcium channel blocking agent, completely abolished the overshoot of blood pressure. These results suggest that the depressor effect of piperine is associated with a cholinergic mechanism whereas the pressor effect is related
