摘要 Objective: To investigate the therapy effect of valsartan on oxidative stress and the formation of atherosclerosis of rabbit. Methods: An atherosclerotic rabbit model was established by feeding high cholesterol diet supplemented by bovine serum albumin injection bolus. The rabbits were randomly divided into the control, model, and valsartan treated group, six rabbits in each group. Blood samples were collected at the end of 8 weeks for examination of serum lipid levels and MDA levels; the aortas were harvested for histological morphometry analysis, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) immunohistochemical analysis and in situ superoxide detection to reflect the activity of NAD(P)H oxidase. Results: Rabbits fed with high cholesterol diet showed higher serum lipids levels than those fed with normal diet(P<0.01). Treatment with valsartan (10 mg/kg per day) did not alter serum lipids levels. But the serum MDA level and ratio of lesion to intima area reduced significantly compared with model group(P<0.05). The expression of VCAM-1 decreased significantly in the valsartan treated group than in the model group (P<0.05).In addition, in situ superoxide detection also show the markedly reduction of superoxide as a result of valsartan treatment. Conclusion: These results indicate that the valsartan treatment can reduce the atherosclerotic progression, the mechanisms of which may include the inhibiting the NAD(P)H oxidase activity to produce superoxide and the downregulating the expression of redox sensitive genes in the downstream, such as VCAM-1.
