Vasoprotective

Vasoprotective

A Vasoprotective is a medication which acts to alleviate certain conditions of the blood vessels. For example, the World Health Organization used the term to describe agents used in the treatment of hemorrhoids and varicose veins.cite web |url=http://www.whocc.no/atcddd/indexdatabase/index.php?query=C05 |title=ATC/DDD Index |format= |work= |accessdate=]

Hormones such as estrogen can have a vasoprotective effect.cite journal |author=Wassmann K, Wassmann S, Nickenig G |title=Progesterone antagonizes the vasoprotective effect of estrogen on antioxidant enzyme expression and function |journal=Circ. Res. |volume=97 |issue=10 |pages=1046–54 |year=2005 |month=November |pmid=16195479 |doi=10.1161/01.RES.0000188212.57180.55 |url=http://circres.ahajournals.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=16195479]

Another vasoprotective is valsartan.cite journal |author=Okumura M, Iwai M, Ide A, Mogi M, Ito M, Horiuchi M |title=Sex difference in vascular injury and the vasoprotective effect of valsartan are related to differential AT2 receptor expression |journal=Hypertension |volume=46 |issue=3 |pages=577–83 |year=2005 |month=September |pmid=16103268 |doi=10.1161/01.HYP.0000178564.14464.80 |url=http://hyper.ahajournals.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=16103268]
