Comparative effects of avocado oil and losartan on blood pressure, renal vascular function, and mitochondrial oxidative stress in hypertensive rats

- Avocado oil intake decreases blood pressure in hypertensive rats.
- Avocado oil enhances renal vasodilation in hypertensive rats.
- Hypertension impairs kidney mitochondrial membrane potential and augments levels of reactive oxygen species.
- Avocado oil counteracts mitochondrial dysfunction and excessive reactive oxygen species production.
- Avocado oil mimics the effects of losartan, an angiotensin-II antagonist.
