Recent studies suggest that adipose tissue hormone, leptin, is involved in the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension. However, the mechanism of hypertensive effect of leptin is incompletely understood. We investigated whether antioxidant treatment could prevent leptin-induced hypertension. Hyperleptinemia was induced in male Wistar rats by administration of exogenous leptin (0.25 mg/kg twice daily...
Chronic hyperleptinemia induces arterial hypertension in experimental animals and may contribute to the development of hypertension in obese humans; however, the mechanism of hypertensive effect of leptin is not completely elucidated. We investigated the effect of leptin on whole-body oxidative stress, nitric oxide production, and renal sodium handling. The study was performed on male Wistar rats...
