Does reduction of oxidative stress augment natriuretic effect of furosemide in moderate heart failure?
In patients with CHF treated with enalapril, counteraction of the increased oxidative stress by vitamin C may contribute to the augmented natriuretic effect of furosemide through the renal kinin-nitric oxide pathway.
Findings from this study underscore the need for policy makers to direct scarce resources to the communities, places within communities, and populations, especially vulnerable women, where the impact on HIV prevention and onward transmission will be greatest.
