RESUMO

The isoprenoid pathway produces three key metabolites--digoxin (membrane sodium-potassium ATPase inhibitor and regulator of neurotransmitter/aminoacid transport), dolichol (regulates N-glycosylation of proteins) and ubiquinone (free radical scavenger). This was assessed in patients with essential hypertension, familial hypotension, acute coronary artery disease and acute thrombotic strokes. The pathway was also assessed in patients with right hemispheric, left hemispheric and bihemispheric dominance for comparison. In patients with acute coronary artery disease, acute thrombotic stroke, essential hypertension and right hemispheric dominance, there was elevated digoxin synthesis, increased dolichol and glycoconjugate levels and low ubiquinone and high free radical levels. There was also an increase in tryptophan catabolites, reduction in tyrosine catabolites, increase in cholesterol-phospholipid ratio and a reduction in glycoconjugate level of RBC membrane in this group of patients as well as in those with right hemispheric dominance. In patients with familial hypotension and left hemispheric dominance, the patterns were reversed. The role of a dysfunctional isoprenoid pathway and endogenous digoxin in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension and familial hypotension and in thrombotic vascular disease in relation to hemispheric dominance is discussed.
