Discover new mechanism of hypertension

Technical University of Munich, Germany, Professor Hoffman on March 13 announced to the media, he led a research team had found a can of protein vascular muscle relaxation TRAG-Prot ein. The discovery will allow people to further understand the pathogenesis of hypertension, and find a treatment for cardiovascular diseases laid the foundation for new methods.
Professor Hoffman explained that hypertension was mainly due to the vascular wall excessive calcium in the muscle cells, leading to hardening caused by the vascular wall. The team found that this protein can prevent calcium in the blood vessel wall cells in free. But if such obstacles in the function of proteins, vascular relaxation of the wall will lose a result of high blood pressure, which led to coronary heart disease. Pathogenesis of Hypertension This applies to most types of hypertension, renal artery stenosis only causes such as disease except for a small number of hypertension. Therefore, as long as control of this protein can be effective in preventing hypertension.
Professor Hoffman said, the study results published in the United Kingdom recently published in the “Nature” magazine. But this will be found for it will take several years of the time, which must be a lot of animal experiments.
