Application

Application Comment Organism
pharmacology treatment of Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbits with aliskiren or aliskiren plus valsartan leads to greater increases in plasma nitric oxide concentration in response to intra-aortic acetylcholine infusion than in control. Aliskiren plus valsartan treatment increases acetylcholine-induced nitric oxide by 6.2 nmol/l, which is significantly higher than with either aliskiren or valsartan alone. Vascular superoxide and peroxynitrite levels are both significantly higher in controls and significantly lower in the aliskiren plus valsartan group than in the aliskiren or valsartan group Oryctolagus cuniculus
