Geriatric individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease are frequently co-treated for hypertension and/or diabetes. In the current research, we have explored the addition of nifedipine (1 mg/ kg), glibenclamide (0.45 mg/kg) to donepezil (0.75 mg/kg) in a rabbit model of high fat diet-induced hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Nifedipine was shown to improve hypertension, lipid profile as well as the nitro-oxidative pathway when combined with donepezil. Glibenclamide has shown an improvement regarding hypertension and nitro-oxidative pathway when compared to the high fat diet receiving group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
