Attenuated Development of Hypertension by Antioxidant Vitamins in Stroke-Prone Shr Is Associated with Increased Vascular Superoxide Dismutase Activity and Decreased Oxidative Stress.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
P34 Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases. We investigated effects of antioxidant vitamins and tempol, superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic, on vascular superoxide anion (×O 2 - ) concentration, NADPH oxidase activity, SOD activity, plasma antioxidant levels and blood pressure in stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP). 16 week-old SHRSP on a high salt diet (4%NaCl) were divided into 4 groups: control (C), Vit C (1000mg/day), Vit E (1000 U/day) and tempol (1 mmol/d). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and antioxidant status were measured weekly for 6 weeks. Aortic ×O 2 - concentration and NADPH oxidase activity were measured by luminometry using lucigenin (5 μmol/L) and aortic SOD activity and total plasma antioxidant status were measured using a spectrophotometric assay system. SBP and plasma antioxidant levels were similar in all groups prior to treatment. Table demonstrates results after 6 weeks treatment. Data are means ± SEM. Data from this study demonstrate that antioxidant vitamins and tempol attenuate the development of hypertension in SHRSP. This is associated with decreased vascular ×O2- production, increased activity of SOD and increased plasma antioxidant concentrations. We demonstrate the novel findings that Vits E and C induce their antioxidant effects, in part, by stimulating SOD activity. Thus increased oxidative stress is an important factor underlying vascular changes associated with severe hypertension in SHRSP.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
