Activation of TRPV1 Prevents Salt-Induced Kidney Damage and Hypertension After Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats

Abstract

Activation of TRPV1 plays an anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress role in preventing renal tissue damage and salt-induced hypertension after I/R injury, indicating that TRPV1 conveys preconditioning protection that may have therapeutic implication.
