One of the mechanisms responsible for blood pressure (BP) regulation is thought to be oxidative stress. In this review, we highlight preclinical studies that strongly support a role for oxidative stress in development and maintenance of hypertension in male animals, based on depressor responses to antioxidants, particularly tempol and apocynin. In females, oxidative stress seems to be important in the initial development of hypertension. However, whether maintenance of hypertension in females is mediated by oxidative stress is not clear. In clinical studies, pharmacological intervention to reduce BP with antioxidants has conflicting results, mostly negative. This review will discuss the uncertainties regarding blood pressure control and oxidative stress and potential reasons for these outcomes.

Abstract Background:An association between hypoglycemia and arterial hypertension has been proposed. Here, for the first time, we report a case of a chronically over-dosed insulin therapy with uncontrolled hypertension, which improved after insulin-dose reduction.Case Presentation: A 73-year-old, male type-2 diabetic of Caucasian ethnicity was hospitalized for uncontrolled arterial hypertension and weakness. Prior to hospitalization, a fixed-dose insulin therapy (160 units per day) and antihypertensive medication with urapidile, valsartan and bisoprolol were prescribed. Hemoglobin A1c was 11.2%, symptomatic hypoglycemic episodes were not reported. During hospitalization, metformin, empagliflozin, and dulaglutide (1.5 mg per week) were added to insulin. Conventional insulin therapy was switched to an intensified insulin therapy with a cumulative daily dose of 46 units. 22 months after discharge, the medical therapy consisted of metformin, liraglutide, and insulin glargine (26 units per day), antihypertensive medication was reduced to bisoprolol and valsartan. Blood pressure was well controlled, hemoglobin A1c was 6.6%. As a likely explanation, undocumented, asymptomatic hypoglycemic events with a post-hypoglycemic hormonal stimulation were the cause for the poor glycemic and blood-pressure control. A step-wise reduction of insulin translated into a better glycemic and blood-pressure control.Conclusions: Undocumented, asymptomatic hypoglycemic events and post-hypoglycemic hormonal stimulation were the likely cause for the poor glycemic and blood-pressure control prior to index hospitalization. A step-wise reduction of insulin concurrently translated into a better glycemic and blood-pressure control.

The article presents the results of a research of evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of dietary supplements and control of blood pressure as a complex treatment in patients with the 1st and 2nd stages of arterial hypertension (AH). It was found that using the complex product blood pressure control stabilises systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
