Arterial Hypertension and Platelet Aggregation in the Pathogenesis of Cerebrovascular Diseases

To investigate whether pressor substances accelerate low density lipoprotein peroxidation by Cu++, low density lipoprotein was dialysed against physiological saline containing O-5 mumol/l CuCl2 and/or 1 mumol/l of various pressor substances. Lipid peroxide value of low density lipoprotein changed little with the addition of norepinephrine to the saline, but the addition of norepinephrine to 1 mumol/l CuCl2 accelerated the peroxidation. When low density lipoprotein was dialysed against saline with norepinephrine, epinephrine, serotonin or dopamine, there were no significant differences in the lipid peroxide values of low density lipoprotein. Although the addition of serotonin into the dialyzate did not accelerate the peroxidation of low density lipoprotein due to Cu++, the addition of norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine accelerated the Cu(++)-peroxidation with a significant increase in the acceleration rate starting at the 36 hour point. Thus, it is speculated that various stresses stimulating the sympathetic nervous system accelerate the peroxidation of low density lipoprotein and produce peroxidized low density lipoprotein in the blood.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
