Suggests impaired antioxidant defense heightens doxorubicin vulnerability in hypertensive hypertrophy; leaves open human translation of targeted therapies.
Does doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy affect superoxide dismutase activity and superoxide anion production in spontaneously hypertensive rats compared to WKY rats?
Myocardial vulnerability in hypertrophied hearts of spontaneously hypertensive rats may result from lowered free radical scavenging ability.
Ito et al. (1995) studied this question.
