Highlights

The review by Madhu Anand Srivastava, Professor of Physiology at the University of Montreal, Canada, entitled Modulation of Gi proteins in Hypertension: Role of Angiotensin II and Oxidative stress is an excellent example how hypertension is controlled by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and redox signalling
The review by Madhu Anand Srivastava, Professor of Physiology at the University of Montreal, Canada, entitled Modulation of Gi proteins in Hypertension: Role of Angiotensin II and Oxidative stress is an excellent example how hypertension is controlled by ROS and redox signalling
Enhanced oxidative stress in hypertension due to Angiotensin II is responsible for the enhanced expression of Gi proteins observed in hypertension

Summary

Introduction

The review by Madhu Anand Srivastava, Professor of Physiology at the University of Montreal, Canada, entitled Modulation of Gi proteins in Hypertension: Role of Angiotensin II and Oxidative stress is an excellent example how hypertension is controlled by ROS and redox signalling. These changes in G-protein expression were associated with Gi functions. The enhanced levels of Gi proteins precede the development of blood pressure and suggest that overexpression of Gi proteins may be one of the contributing factors for the pathogenesis of hypertension.
