摘要
Membrane abnormalities in essential hypertensives (EH) are well known. The respiratory burst enzyme, NADPH oxidase is located in the cell membrane of the neutrophil (PMNLs) and its activity is important in generation of oxygen derived free radical (OFR). Recently OFR have been implicated in vascular changes in variety of conditions. An attempt was made to delineate the status of OFR and antioxidants in EH. Ten, age and sex-matched, healthy controls (GpI) and 26 untreated EH (Gp IIA mild-8, Gp IIB Moderate-8, Gp IIC Severe-10) were studied. After clinical examination and basic laboratory evaluation of subjects, neutrophils isolated from their blood were studied. Chemiluminescence (CL) emitted by PMNLs after stimulation was measured (counts/min) in a luminometer and was taken as measure of OFR production and thereby of NADPH oxidase activity. The levels of antioxidants. super oxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced glutathione (GSH), were also estimated. Chemiluminescence was increased significantly (p < 0.01) in Gp IIC (243.04 +/- 24.9 x 10(3) counts per minute) as compared to Gp IIA (2.80 +/- 1.87), Gp IIB (34.54 +/- 30.24) and Gp I (0.52 +/- 0.15) and SOD was reduced significantly (p < 0.05) in all EH (Gp IIA 3.9 +/- 0.3 units per mg protein, Gp IIB 3.5 +/- 0.3 and Gp IIC 3.12 +/- 0.3) as compared to controls (4.1 +/- 0.2). Similarly GSH was reduced (p < 0.05) in EH (Gp IIA 11.2 +/- 1.7 mg per gm protein, Gp IIB 8.5 +/- 1.1 and Gp IIC 6.6 +/- 0.3) as compared to Gp I (13.5 +/- 2.5). In essential hypertensives a curvilinear positive correlation was obtained between CL and both systolic (r = 0.7077, p < 0.01) and diastolic (r = 0.7965, p < 0.01) blood pressure. A significant inverse correlation (p < 0.05) was obtained between systolic and diastolic blood pressure on one hand and GSH and SOD on the other. Thus PMNLs of EH have increased emission of CL and depletion of antioxidants. The results indicate that in essential hypertension increased membrane NADPH oxidase activity is present.
