Antioxidant action occurs by opposing the activation of NADPH oxidase by AT1-R, while anti-inflammatory activity occurs through inhibition of NFkB nuclear factor translocation in nuclear cells and attenuation of Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression, otherwise an early marker of endothelial dysfunction [86,87]. This evidence concerns the gene VCAM1 and endothelial dysfunction.
