nifedipine and Retinal Diseases

nifedipine has been researched along with Retinal Diseases in 11 studies

Nifedipine: A potent vasodilator agent with calcium antagonistic action. It is a useful anti-anginal agent that also lowers blood pressure.

Retinal Diseases: Diseases involving the RETINA.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To study if the endogenous renin-angiotensin system affects diabetic retinal leukostasis, rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes were treated with an ACE inhibitor (ramipril), an angiotensin II AT(1) receptor antagonist (losartan) and the Ca channel blocker, (nifedipine)."7.73Role of angiotensin II in retinal leukostasis in the diabetic rat. ( Chen, P; Dahl, D; Edwards, PA; Fenstermacher, JD; Guo, M; Scicli, AG; Scicli, GM, 2006)

"Nifedipine-treated cells also showed a decrease in cytosolic cytochrome c release and a decrease in caspase 3 activation, compared to cells treated only with Rec-1 antibody."1.33Anti-recoverin antibodies induce an increase in intracellular calcium, leading to apoptosis in retinal cells. ( Adamus, G; Duvoisin, RM; Shiraga, S; Webb, S, 2006)
