Abstract excerpt
We examined the effect of high potassium (K) diet on oxidative stress to endothelium in hypertensive rats. Five-week-old stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRsp) were fed a 5% high NaCl diet containing either 0.5% normal K (n = 28) or 2.1% high K (n = 19) for 6 weeks, and lipid peroxides in the aortic intima and plasma were measured. Lipid peroxides were extracted into an organic solvent to avoid the...
