Endothelial dysfunction is a major factor in the progression of chronic kidney disease, which correlates with oxidative stress and NO deficiency. Huangqi decoction (HQD) is a potential anti-oxidant ingredient in renoprotection. However, the underlying mechanisms remained identified. Therefore, we investigated whether HQD exhibit improvement in endothelial dysfunction in the 5/6 nephrectomy (Nx) rat model.
