Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS AND RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that AT1 receptor antagonism improves endothelial function during hypercholesterolemia and that this applies not only to endothelium-dependent vasodilatation but also to oxidative stress and events involved in monocyte attraction and adhesion. AT1 receptor blockade may potentially represent a novel approach for the prevention of vascular dysfunction associated with hypercholesterolemia that is independent of lipid-lowering and blood pressure-lowering interventions.
