Chronic administration of propranolol improves vascular contractile responsiveness in portal hypertensive rats.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Vitamin E supplementation is associated with a reduced risk of developing atherosclerotic events; probably because it inhibits low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, an initial step in atherosclerosis. Metal ion-dependent LDL oxidation is a commonly used method to estimate oxidizability of LDL, but the eff...
