Levels of endothelial substances in patients with newly identified hypertension compared with healthy controls

Introduction. Endothelial dysfunction occurs at the very beginning of hypertension. The primary goal of our study was to determine plasmatic levels of multiple endothelial substances in otherwise healthy patients with primary hypertension and compare them to healthy individuals. Secondary goals were...

In the exploratory cohort of 22 healthy and 28 hypertensive individuals, plasmatic levels of big endotelin-1, asymmetric dimethylarginin, osteopontin, oxidized LDL, 3-nitro-L-tyrosine, growth/differentiation factor 15, intercellular adhesion molecule, vascular cell adhesion molecule, tumor necrosis factor-α, vascular endothelial growth factor, interleukins -1β, -6 and nitric oxide levels (NO, expressed as NOx) were determined.
