Scientists found that human protein can be induced hypertension
After the middle-aged people, often to increase blood pressure and even lead to heart and circulatory system diseases. However, what causes high blood pressure, or people so far only superficial understanding. For example, we all know, in most cases of hypertension, are due to vascular sclerosis, vascular reduce the cross-sectional area. However, why would vascular sclerosis this problem, it seems that still can not explain.

Recently, the German Technical University of Munich Drug Institute scientists have done to answer, and their research results published in the March 1st phase of "Nature" magazine. They found that the body found in a IRAG named the protein, this protein can make blood vessels to soften, thus increasing blood vessel cross-sectional area, to reduce blood pressure. However, once the function of IRAG be disrupted, blood vessels can not be its role, began to harden. To the University of Hoffman (Hofman), led by Professor researchers found, IRAG protein vascular muscle cells can hinder the release of calcium, and calcium components of the reduction will enable vessels to soften. They also found that, in addition to tightening because of renal artery caused by hypertension, high blood pressure are the rest of the formation of the reasons for this.

Therefore, they believe that this discovery will help the future development of new prevention and treatment of hypertension drugs. However, not with this new discovery, the treatment of hypertension can be easily handled, Professor, Professor Hoffman said, usually from a new discovery really started to research results into new drugs, at least 10 times, so for us, Still have to pay attention to physical activity and health is being strokes.
