Hypertension in a rural community in Sri Lanka: prevalence, associated factors and its effect on the renal profile.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Considering the growing body of evidence that indicates the contribution of superoxide anions (O2) and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) to the development of hypertension, we assessed whether animal models of hypertension have a benefic effect with tempol, a superoxide dismutase mimetic, to help augment th...
