... indices and the expression of NO synthase and nitrotyrosine were normalized by the treatments. In conclusion, the combined treatment of zofenopril or enalapril with hydrochlorothiazide completely prevented the development of arterial hypertension induced by L -NAME. Renal morphological and functional...

... of diseases (e.g. the autonomic impairment cha- racterizing diabetes mellitus, renal failure, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and arterial hypertension) [1 3,6 12]. The interest raised over the last 30 years towards the analysis of blood pressure variability is also due to the evidence provided by a number...

... to a high-calcium diet) partially inhibited the development of arterial hypertension. 3. In contrast, in thyroparathyroidectomized rats supplemented with thyroxine, the administration of parathyroid hormone rapidly elevated arterial blood pressure. 4. Maintaining a physiological concentration of serum...

... in hypertensive subjects and supported the concept that there are structural changes of the resistance vessels in arterial hypertension. 4. In a small group of hypertensive patients who were well treated for two years, and had a normal blood pressure, the compliance was reduced to the same extent...

... regression analyses failed to demonstrate any dependence of blood pressure on plasma renin activity, blood volume or body weight taken separately or together. 3. We conclude that other factors besides plasma renin activity and blood volume are important in maintaining arterial hypertension in terminal renal...
