Pharmacological Effects
Gorgosterol exhibits several pharmacological effects, including:
- Vasodilation. Gorgosterol has been observed to induce vasodilation, which is the widening of blood vessels. This effect helps improve blood flow and decreases vascular resistance.
- Lowering blood pressure. By causing vasodilation, gorgosterol can contribute to lowering blood pressure by reducing the force against which the heart must work.
- Lowering heart rate. Gorgosterol may also influence the autonomic regulation of the heart, potentially leading to a lower heart rate. This is beneficial in reducing the overall workload on the heart.
- Anti-arrhythmic effects. Gorgosterol might possess anti-arrhythmic properties, helping to maintain a regular heart rhythm and preventing arrhythmias or irregular heartbeats.
