title: Preventive effect of manidipine on severe hypertension and proteinuria induced by the inhibition of endothelial-derived relaxation factor formation in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats.
abstract: The effect of a calcium antagonist, manidipine, on blood pressure and proteinuria induced by the inhibition of endothelial-derived relaxation factor (EDRF) formation was examined. Manidipine attenuated the increase in blood pressure and prevented proteinuria caused by renal damage associated with the inhibition of EDRF formation in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) and Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats.
