CLAIM CARD
Preclinical data provide the primary mechanistic foundation for investigating immune modulation. A study in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) by Diego and colleagues evaluated the modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines by nebivolol-based polytherapies with valsartan or lisinopril. Translational relevance to humans remains uncertain. These preclinical results suggest a mechanistic basis for ACE inhibitors influencing inflammatory pathways relevant to aging, though this effect was observed in a polypharmacy context in hypertensive animals.
