- Abstract
Oxidative stress plays an important role in vascular ageing. The close relationship of the renin-angiotensin system with mechanisms of oxidative stress suggests its possible involvement in the deleterious effects of ageing. The present study was designed to investigate whether inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system improves the age-related increase in arterial stiffness.
