Role of neuropeptides in autism and their relationships with classical neurotransmitters

Abstract

Treatment of hypertension increasingly requires association of drugs. Among them, the association of calcium antagonists with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors is a new tempting approach since the two pharmaceutical classes have synergistic effects on blood pressure lowering and target organ protection whereas their effect is antagonistic for adverse events. Numerous large randomized clinical trials have validated this treatment strategy, and new fixed association are being developed. They apply to hypertensive patients, but also to coronary artery disease patients and more generally speaking to high cardiovascular risk subjects.
