An experimental model of spontaneous hypertensive rats(SHR)was established to investigate the hypotensive activity in vivo of ACE inhibiting peptides(ACEIPs)from sunflower seeds.The results showed that ACEIPs could lower the systolic blood pressure of SHR,and there was an obvious concentration-effect relationship.In addition,the hypertensive activity of ACEIPs had a certain timeliness.Each group of SHR’s weight had increased,and the blank group rats gained the most weight,and positive control group gained minimum.In the feeding of 4 weeks expe...
