title: [Effect of an extract from the cauline of Piper kadsura ohwi on endotoxin-induced hypotension and lung injury in rats].
abstract: Arterial hypotension and high-permeability pulmonary edema were induced by intravenous injection of platelet activating factor (PAF) or endotoxin in rats. Pre-treatment with extract from the Cauline of Piper kadsura attenuated endotoxin-induced hypotension and lung injury, which may result from the PAF antagonistic effect of Piper kadsura.
