The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cyclosporine (CsA) on oxidative stress as well as the use of a nitric oxide (NO) donor, the organic nitrate isosorbide-5-mononitrate (Is-5-Mn), to prevent or reverse CsA-induced toxicity, namely on the vascular NO-cGMP pathway or on oxidative equilibrium. The following rat groups (n = 8) were tested: (1) a control group; (2) the CsA group (5 mg/kg/d for 7 week...
The present study sought to evaluate the prevention and reversion effects of isosorbide-5-mononitrate (Is-5-Mn) on the development of hypertension (HT) and on the underlying vascular and platelet morphofunctional disturbances, using an animal model of cyclosporine (CsA)-induced HT. The following rat groups (n = 8) were tested: (1) a control group (orange juice, for 7 weeks); (2) the CsA group (5 mg/kg/d for 7 w...
