Elevated neutrophil respiratory burst activity in essential hypertensive patients
R Ramasamy, M Maqbool, AL Mohamed, RM Noah - Cellular immunology, 2010 - Elsevier
Neutrophils play a significant role in maintaining the integrity of innate immunity via their
potent respiratory burst activity. However, the uncontrolled activation of respiratory burst in
neutrophils also attributes to chronic diseases such as primary hypertension and
atherosclerosis. In our study, we have investigated the activation of respiratory burst function
of neutrophils harvested from essential hypertensive patients. In the presence of stimuli PMA
and opsonized zymosan (OZ), hypertensive patients' neutrophils secrete significantly higher …
