Safflower yellow (SY) is a mixture of chalconoid compounds extracted from Carthamus tinctorius L. Ig SY 1-2 g.kg-1.d-1 lowered the blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), for about 1.86-3.86 kPa. Five weeks after administration of SY, the plasma renin activity and angiotensin II level diminished in the SHR experimental groups. These suggest that the decrease of blood pressure is mediated by the renin-angiotensin system.
