(Cistaceae) is a medicinal plant originated from the Mediterranean region which exerts different pharmacological effects. In the present study, our goal was to examine whether the plant possessed antihypertensive properties. Aqueous extract of Cistus leaves (AEC, 500mg/kg/day) reduced systemic blood pressure (SBP) in two animal models of hypertension, the l-NAME and renovascular two kidney-one clip (2K-1C) hypertensive rats. In the former, AEC prevented the increase in SBP when co-administered with l-NAME during four weeks (164+/-3mm Hg in l-NAME vs. 146+/-1mm Hg in l-NAME+AEC, p<0.001). In the latter, AEC reversed the increase in SBP when administered during four weeks after installation of the hypertension (146+/-5mm Hg with AEC vs. 179+/-6mm Hg without, p<0.05). AEC treatment also reversed the endothelial dysfunction observed in both animal models of hypertension. A direct effect on cardiac and vascular tissue was also tested by examining the contracti...

Maghrébin sans doute est-il, dont l'âme sereine capte avec finesse les échos singuliers des paroles auctoriales longtemps endormies dans la fange des communes pensées. C'est la vulnérabilité charmante de la lecture que de croire aux énigmes de la littérature. Aujourd'hui, cet esprit retrouve son patrimoine culturel perdu : la force prégnante d'une écriture maghrébine refugiée dans l'expression francophone multiple.
