Abstract

Essential hypertension, characterized by persistent elevation of blood pressure, is often associated with endothelial dysfunction (ED), marked by impaired endothelial activity. Despite advancements, the molecular mechanisms underlying ED in hypertension remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of microRNA-510-3p (miR-510-3p) in regulating endothelial function through the PTEN/PI3K/AKT/eNOS signaling pathway and to evaluate its potential as a biomarker and potential...
