Inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis with N ω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) induces
marked hypertension and oxidative stress. Curcumin (CUR) has been shown strong …

Hexahydrocurcumin (HHC), a major metabolite of curcumin, possesses several biological
activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammation, and cardioprotective properties. This study …

Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC), a major metabolite of curcumin, possesses strong antioxidant
and cardioprotective properties. However, the activities of THC in hypertension and its …

Oxidative stress plays a role in maintaining high arterial blood pressure and contributes to
the vascular changes that lead to hypertension. Consumption of polyphenol-rich foods has …

Quercetin has antioxidants properties which may increase nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability.
However, the effects of quercetin on NO status have been poorly studied. We evaluated …

In the present study changes in oxidative stress and vascular reactivity in aortic rings of
chronic streptozotocin-diabetic (STZ-CON) and nondiabetic (ND-CON) rats is studied at 4 …

The aims of the present study were to analyse the effects of an oral daily dose (10 mg/kg) of
the dietary flavonoid quercetin for five weeks in two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) Goldblatt (GB) …

The effects of different levels of quercetin on the blood pressure were studied in 6-week-old
male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were fed with a control diet or a high-fat high-sucrose …

Objectives The present study analysed, for the first time, the effects of the flavonoid quercetin
in rats after chronic inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis with N ω-nitro-l-arginine methyl …

Abstract Lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are environmental pollutants and nonessential
elements in the body. Both metals induce the development of hypertension which is …
