Master’s Thesis at the University of Basrah Explores the Link Between Insulin Resistance, Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Hypertension
A Master’s thesis at the College of Pharmacy, University of Basrah, investigated the relationship between insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and inflammation in relation to hypertension, compared to healthy individuals.
The thesis, submitted by student Rusul Hanoun Hassan, aimed to analyze how insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and inflammation contribute as factors to the development of hypertension by comparing their levels with those found in healthy subjects. The results clarify how these factors can interact and increase the risk of developing high blood pressure.
The thesis examined the relationship between insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and inflammation and their role in the progression of hypertension compared to healthy individuals. Scientific evidence indicates that insulin resistance may lead to dysregulation of blood pressure by affecting blood vessels and kidney function, while oxidative stress resulting from increased free radicals weakens the vascular endothelium, contributing to elevated blood pressure.
