:
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and AT1-receptor antagonist restore nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity and neuronal NOS expression in the adrenal glands of spontaneously hypertensive rats
Tojo et al., Kidney Int Suppl 1996
(Hypertension) :
In conclusion, a decreased NOS activity in L-NAME induced hypertensive rats was significantly increased by alpha 1-adrenoceptor blockers and ACE inhibitors in the kidney, and this increased NOS activity may have a role in the prevention of glomerulosclerosis
Bernátová et al., Physiol Res 1996
(Disease Models, Animal...) :
The aim of the study was to assess whether angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition with captopril prevents the development of hypertension and myocardial hypertrophy and affects nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in rats
