In hypertensive subjects, the cholesterol/phospholipid ratio increased significantly in erythrocyte membranes, owing to the reduction of phospholipid levels concomitant with a rise in the levels of cholesterol. In addition, differences were also found in the amount of fatty acids in both phospholipid and cholesterol esters. Erythrocyte membranes from hypertensive subjects contained higher levels of monounsaturated and lower levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. On the other hand, signaling proteins such as G proteins and protein kinase C have been implicated in the control of blood pressure. Previous studies have shown that the cellular localization and the activity of these proteins are modulated by the type and the abundance of membrane lipids. For this reason, we assessed the levels of these signaling molecules in the membrane. We found that the levels of membrane-associated (active/preactive) G proteins (Gαi, Gαo, and Gβ) and protein kinase C were significantly reduced in hypertensive subjects. We believe that these alterations could be related to the etiopathology of hypertension in elderly subjects or alternatively may correspond to adaptive compensatory mechanisms. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1161/01.HYP.0000047647.72162.A8 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/55901 | DOI: | 10.1161/01.HYP.0000047647.72162.A8 | ISSN: | 0194-911X | E-ISSN: | 1524-4563 |
