Background: Leptadenia hastata (L. Hastata) is a plant used for various diseases in Nigeria. This study evaluated the protective effects of L. hastate on the haematological and biochemical alterations in adrenaline-induced hypertensive rats. Methods: Twenty-five rats were divided equally into five groups (A-E). Groups A-D were given 0.5 mg/kg adrenaline, groups A and B were treated with 100 an...

Background: With the development of technology, human beings are increasingly under the exposure of Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR) (due to wireless technologies, mobile phones, base stations etc). The aim was to investigate the possible effects of Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR) on blood, aorta and heart tissue in hypertensive and non-hypertensive rats with various parameters. Materials and Me...

introduction: different vasoactive factors can modulate cardiovascular adaptation to hemorrhagic shock including nitric oxide (no). in this study we investigated the effect of  the no synthase inhibitor for treatment of  decompensated hemorrhagic shock in normotensive and hypertensive rats. methods: twenty‑four male wistar rats were divided into two groups: the normotensive and hypertensive gro...

Hypertension is a common comorbidity in obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). OSAHS can raise blood pressures to pre-hypertensive and hypertensive ranges, increase the prevalence of 'non-dipping' overnight pressure patterns, risk resistant hypertension.

background: resveratrol has beneficial effects on cardiovascular system. this study aimed at examining antidiabetic and antihypertensive effects of resveratrol in rats with simultaneous type 2 diabetes and renal hypertension. methods: eight groups (8-10 each) of male spargue-dawley rats, including a control, a diabetic (induced by streptozotocin and nicotinamide), a renal hypertensive (induced ...

background: anxiety, depression, and other adverse psychological reactions are often observed in elderly hypertensive patients. appropriate exercise is a safe form of adjuvant therapy without causing side effects among these patients, with consistent effects on patients’ mental health. in this study, a collective exercise intervention experiment was conducted to evaluate the mental health of el...

Introduction:Severe abdominal aortic constriction above the renal arteries induces arterial hypertension above the stenotic site that is the cause of cardiac hypertrophy. Previous studies have shown that high blood pressure induces myocardial oxidative stress with conflicting results. In the present study, we assessed the effects of acute hypertension on the myocardial oxidative stress an...

background: hypertension is one the most common causes of chronic kidney disease (ckd). one of the major concerns in hypertensive patients is early detection of renal disorders. in the past, serum creatinine (scr) concentration was used as a marker of kidney function, but it proffers a late reflection of reduced glomerular filtration rate. cystatin c and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocal...
