Effect of Telmisartan on Arsenic-Induced (Sub-chronic) Perturbations in Redox Homeostasis, Pro-inflammatory Cascade and Aortic Dysfunction in Wistar Rats
An experimental study was conducted in male Wistar rats to explore the antioxidant potential of telmisartan (an AT 1 receptor blocker) to overcome arsenic (‘As’)-induced perturbations in redox homeostasis pro-inflammatory cytokines, prostaglandin-E 2 levels and aortic dysfunction in Wistar rats.
