[Effect of cardiovascular drugs on vasodilating endothelial function in animals with experimental deficiency of sex hormones].

The influence of various cardiovascular drugs, including ACE inhibitors (lisinopril), beta-adrenoblockers (bisoprolol, nebivolol), calcium inhibitors (nifedipine), cholesterol-lowering drugs (simvastatin), and heparinoids (sulodexide), on the vasodilating endothelial function has been studied in animals with experimental deficiency of sex hormones. According to the expressiveness of a positive effect on endothelium-dependent vasodilatation in castrated rats, the tested drugs can be arranged in the following sequence: sulodexide > lisinopril > or = simvastatin > or = nebivolol > bisoprolol > nifedipine.
