Hypertension (HT) is a major health problem worldwide. Individuals with hypertension are at
an increased risk for stroke, heart disease, and kidney failure. Although the aetiology of …

Background: To assess the association between total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) and
ischemic stroke (IS) in hypertensive subjects in a matched case-control study. Methods: This …

Cardiovascular disease is the major complication and cause of mortality in the dialysis
population, accounting for about 40% of deaths. Oxidative stress has been strongly …

Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) and kidney function are both associated with mortality risk,
but the degree to which kidney function modifies the impact of tHcy on mortality remains …

Objective Oxidative stress plays a role in the progression of chronic heart failure (CHF), but
whether and how ischaemic heart disease (IHD) or non-IHD aetiology may account for …

Background Oxidative and nitrosative stress has suggested to be involved in the
pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases, but has unclear relationship with the risk for …

Coronary risk factors, including age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and
smoking, are associated with enhanced oxidative stress, which is implicated as a potential …

Oxidative stress is thought to play a critical role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Protein
oxidation is defined here as the covalent modification of a protein induced either directly by …

Objective We hypothesized that downregulation of the antioxidant thioredoxin system
contributes to oxidative stress in angiotensin II-induced hypertension. As oestrogen may …

Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) has emerged as an important physiological and
pathophysiological signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system influencing vascular …
