Changes in blood pressure reactivity and 24-hour blood pressure profile occurring at puberty.

Aims and MethodsSome pharmacologic activities of a micronized flavonoid complex consisting of 90% diosmin + 10% hesperidin (Daflon 500 mg*) have been investigated by use of various experimental models: (1) interference with mechanisms of edema (synthesis of arachidonic acid derivatives, microvascular hyperpermeability induced by bradykinin, ischemia, or streptozotocin), (2) interference with lymphatic drainage (thoracic duct fistula in the dog).ResultsDaflon 500 mg inhibited prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and thromboxane A2 (TxA2) synthesis during a one-month oral daily treatment (100 mg·kg–1·day–1) in the rat, after induction of chronic inflammation by subcutaneous implantation of sponge fragments. Microvascular hyperpermeability induced by bradykinin or ischemia in the rat cremaster muscle was reduced after an oral treatment with Daflon 500 mg (100 mg·kg–1 twice daily). Microvascular hyperpermeability of the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat was antagonized when Daflon 500 mg (300 mg·kg–1 once daily) was giv...
