This study aimed to investigate the effect of antihypertensive drugs on reproductive function in Rattus norvegicus and demonstrate the potential role of oxidative stress in reproductive dysfunction. Rattus norvegicus were selected as the experimental animals and divided into the following groups: healthy (control group), clonidine (CL), rilmenidine (RLD), methyldopa (MTL), amlodipine (ALD), and ramipril (RML). Each individual in each group was marked from one to six.

Nischarin was reported to be a tumor suppressor that plays a critical role in breast cancer initiation and progression, and a positive prognostic marker in breast, ovarian and lung cancers. Our group has found that nischarin had positive prognostic value in female melanoma patients, but negative in males. This opened up a question whether nischarin has tumor type-specific and sex-dependent roles in cancer progression.

Article Synopsis
  • - The concept of drug-induced Nitrosogenesis suggests that long-term exposure to nitrosamines in medications may contribute to cancer, particularly melanoma, which has been linked to drugs like Valsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide.
  • - Recent studies have detected potential contamination with carcinogenic nitrosamines in newer medications, including Ranitidine and Rosuvastatin, indicating a broader risk linked to a variety of drugs.
  • - Researchers emphasize the need for further exploration of nitrosamines' role in drug-related cancer risks, highlighting the necessity for the scientific community to clarify dosage and exposure levels associated with both combination and single medication use.
