Key result
Hereditary hypertriglyceridemia in rats significantly attenuated endothelium-dependent relaxation compared to controls (59.3% vs. 95.8%, p<0.001), which was normalized by captopril pretreatment.
Why the study?
Does captopril treatment improve endothelial function and morphological changes in the thoracic aorta of hereditary hypertriglyceridemic rats treated with or without L-NAME?

Absolute Event Rate: 59.3% vs 95.8%
p-value: p=<0.001
Captopril treatment can partially protect against functional and morphological alterations in the thoracic aorta of hereditary hypertriglyceridemic rats.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Captopril may protect endothelial function in hypertriglyceridemic rat models; leaves open translation to human therapy.
Török et al. (2002) studied Hereditary hypertriglyceridemia. Hereditary hypertriglyceridemia vs. Control Wistar rats was evaluated on Endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) to acetylcholine (p=<0.001). Hereditary hypertriglyceridemia in rats significantly attenuated endothelium-dependent relaxation compared to controls (59.3% vs. 95.8%, p<0.001), which was normalized by captopril pretreatment.
