Central Interaction of 2-Methoxyestradiol and Lipoxygenase in AngII-Hypertension.
Article in Hypertension (Dallas, Tex. : 1979), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOur previous findings that arachidonic acid-12/15-lipoxygenase (LOX)-generated metabolite 12(S)-HETE contributes to angiotensin II (AngII)-induced hypertension and 17β-estradiol protects from AngII-induced hypertension via its cytochrome P450 (CYP)1B1-generated metabolite 2-methoxyestradiol in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) in female mice led us to test the hypothesis that 2-methoxyestradiol acts by inhibiting the LOX/12(S)-HETE in the PVN.
methodsAngII was infused subcutaneously by osmotic pumps for 2 weeks in wild-type, LOX-knockout (LOXKO), and CYP1B1KO female mice. The blood pressure was measured by tail-cuff/radiotelemetry. Adenovirus (Ad)-GFP (green fluorescence protein)-LOX-short hairpin RNA, Ad-GFP-LOX-DNA, 12(S)-HETE, and 2-methoxyestradiol were injected selectively in PVN or intracerebroventricularly. Histological, immunohistochemical, and biochemical techniques were used to determine pathophysiological changes caused by various interventions.
resultsAngII-induced hypertension that was exaggerated in CYP1B1KO compared with wild-type mice was minimized by PVN-LOX knockdown with Ad-LOX-short hairpin RNA and restored by PVN-LOX reconstitution with Ad-LOX-DNA in intact-LOXKO mice and exacerbated in ovariectomized-LOXKO mice. Furthermore, intracerebroventricular-12(S)-HETE restored AngII-induced increases in blood pressure, autonomic impairment, neuroinflammation, and renal pathogenesis in intact-LOXKO mice, which were exacerbated in ovariectomized-LOXKO mice. Intracerebroventricular-2-methoxyestradiol that reduced the LOX expression and 12(S)-HETE content in PVN minimized AngII effects mentioned above in ovariectomized-LOXKO mice transduced with intracerebroventricular-Ad-LOX-DNA.
conclusionsThese data suggest that 2-methoxyestradiol protects against AngII-induced hypertension and associated pathogenesis, most likely by inhibiting LOX/12(S)-HETE actions in the PVN of female mice. Therefore, the selective LOX inhibitors or 12(S)-HETE receptor antagonists could be useful in treating hypertension and its pathogenesis in postmenopausal, hypoestrogenic women or females with ovarian failure.
