Plasma Hydrogen Peroxide Production in Human Essential Hypertension

Plasma hydrogen peroxide production in human essential hypertension: role of heredity, gender, and ethnicity.

Oxygen free radicals, including hydrogen peroxide, may mediate oxidative stress in target organ tissues and contribute to cardiovascular complications in hypertension. To examine heritability of hydrogen peroxide production, we investigated this trait in a family-based cohort consisting of family members (n=236) ascertained through probands (n=57) with essential hypertension. Significant effect...

Plasma Norepinephrine in Essential Hypertension

Of 32 studies comparing plasma norepinephrine concentrations in hypertensive and normotensive groups, 28 (88%) reported higher levels in the hypertensive group. However, only 13 (41%) of the studies reported statistically significant hypertensive-nonnotensive differences in norepinephrine, leading the present attempt to identify factors differentiating "positive" studies (those reporting signif...

Plasma Lipids in Essential Hypertension.

Because of the frequent presence of cholesterol in the arterial lesions which develop during hypertension, the possibility was pointed out by Lemoine (1911) that hypercholesteremia might be a predisposing factor to atheromatosis. That it can be so in rabbits has been repeatedly demonstrated by administering cholesterol by mouth, with resultant production of hypercholesteremia and of atheromatou...
