Oxido Nítrico Como Biomarcador Associado a Hipertensão Arterial Em Idosos Ribeirinhos Da Amazônia

Abstract: Introdução: Células endoteliais sintetizam o óxido nítrico (ON), responsável pelo relaxamento e contração da parede arterial. A disfunção endotelial contribui para um desbalanço na produção de ON, e pode contribuir com o desenvolvimento de vários fatores de risco de doenças cardiovasculares como a hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS), que está relaciona com a idade, por isso apresenta maior prevalência em idosos, bem como o aumento no estresse oxidativo. Objetivos: Analisar a relação entre ON, um biomarcador p… Show more

“…Aging is associated with changes in cardiovascular autonomic control, with a decrease in vagal tone, an increase in sympathetic tone, and attenuation of autonomic regulatory mechanisms, such as baroreceptors (5,6) , corroborating for greater blood pressure variation with postural changes (7) . These factors, in addition to the lower availability of nitric oxide due to endothelial dysfunction and reduced arterial compliance, result in increased peripheral vascular resistance and, consequently, increased blood pressure (BP) (8,9) .…”
