Lisinopril blood pressure treatment
Posted: Sat Aug 22, 2009 9:07 am
I was wondering what you people think about the recent study that was all over news using Lisinopril (a standard blood pressure medication with few side effects) to very effectively treat MS-like disease in rodents, in the context of this thread?
(see e.g. http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssHeal ... 4420090817)
In particular I wonder if the blood-pressure lowering property would be an additional benefit to the shift Lisinopril apparently induces in the T cell population (toward regulating ones), because it may reduce obstruction of venous blood-flow?
Thanks for any insights someone might have on this...
