Losartan and Metformin Prevent Abnormalities in Perivascular Adipose Tissue and in Mesenteric Vascular Bed Prostanoid Release Induced by High-fat High-fructose Diet in Rats
semanticscholar(2020)
摘要
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of losartan (30 mg/kg/day) and metformin (500 mg/kg/day) on the adiposity index and the mesenteric vascular bed prostanoid release, and their relationship with systolic blood pressure in a metabolic syndrome model induced by high-fat high fructose-diet in male Sprague-Dawley rats for 9 weeks.. Methods: Mesenteric vascular beds were extracted and incubated and prostanoids were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Systolic blood pressure was measured by an indirect method. Results: High-fat high-fructose diet produced a significant increase in systolic blood pressure and mesenteric vascular bed adiposity index and in the release of vasoconstrictor prostanoids as thromboxane B2 and prostaglandin F2α and of prostaglandin E2, a marker of inflammation. The PGI2/TXA2 ratio was significantly reduced. The administration of losartan and metformin prevented all these changes. Conclusion: Both drugs have beneficial effects on mesenteric perivascular adipose tissue by improving endothelial dysfunction induced by an imbalance of vasoactive substances.
