betle flower may exert sympathomimetic effects (4), which might elevate blood pressure leading to increased UAER. However, because the effect was independent of blood pressure, other mechanisms should have been in play. Reactive oxygen species and N-nitroso compounds can be formed in the oral cavity during betel nut chewing, and in vitro studies also demonstrated that betel nut components incre...
