Chronic Antioxidant Treatment Improves Arterial Renovascular Hypertension and Oxidative Stress Markers in the Kidney in Wistar Rats

Abstract

The present study suggests a role for oxidative stress in the cardiovascular and sympathetic alterations in renovascular hypertension, associated with changes in the expression of AT(1)R, NAD(P)H oxidase subunits, and antioxidant enzymes in the kidney.
