Protection from vascular endothelial dysfunction in acute glycemic load-induced primary hypertension by vitamin C and E

J. X. Xu, Su, L., Chen, L., and Lin, J. X., Protection from vascular endothelial dysfunction in acute glycemic load-induced primary hypertension by vitamin C and E, vol. 13, pp. 7246-7255, 2014.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of acute glycemic load on vascular endothelial function in patients with hypertension and to evaluate the protective effect of vitamins C and E during the acute glycemic phase. We randomly selected 39 hypertensive patients and 21 normal subjects and divided them into 3 groups: 75 g oral glucose (glycemic load group), 75 g glucose + 0.9 g vitamin C (VC group), 75 g glucose + 2 g vitamin C + 0.8 g vitamin E (VC + VE group).
