Abstract excerpt
The aortic biochemical properties are reported to be altered in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR-SPs) as a result not only of the accelerated accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in thoracic aortae but also of primary defects. There is a growing body of evidence that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the formation of AGEs. We propose here a novel hypothesis that...
