METHODS: Animals treated for 4 mo as group(1) Apo E-knock out plus vehicle, group(2) Apo E-knock out plus paricalcitol(200 ng thrice a week),(3) Apo Eknock out plus enalapril(30 mg/L),(4) Apo E-knock out plus paricalcitol plus enalapril and(5) normal. Blood pressure(BP) was recorded using tail cuff method. The kidneys were isolated for biochemical assays using spectrophotometer and Western blot analyses. RESULTS: Apo E-deficient mice developed high BP(127 ± 3 mm Hg) and it was ameliorated by enalapril and enalapril plus paricalcitol treatments but not with paricalcitol alone. Renal malondialdehyde concentrations, p22 phox, manganese-superoxide dismutase, inducible nitric oxide synthase(NOS), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and transforming growth factor-β1 levels significantly elevated but reduced glutathione, Cu Zn-SOD and e NOS levels significantly depleted in Apo E-knock out animals compared to normal. Administration of paricalcitol, enalapril and combined together ameliorated the renal inflammation and oxidative stress in Apo E-knock out animals. CONCLUSION: Paricalcitol and enalapril combo treatment ameliorates renal inflammation as well as oxidative stress in atherosclerotic animals.展开更多

The effects of enalapril on the ex-pression of platelet derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) in liver tissue were also investigated. Methods 50 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into S groups (control group, model group, and 3 enalapril treated groups). Except rats of the model group, all rats received subcutanous injection of 40% CC14 (every 3d for 6 weeks). Rats of enalapril treated groups were given enalapril (10mg/kg, 5mg/kg, 2.5mg/kg per day, orally)for 6 weeks before they were killed. Serum levels of hyaluronic acid (HA) and laminin (LW) were de-termined by radioimmunoassay techniques. Van Gieson collagen staining was used to evaluate the extracellular matrix of the liver. The expressions of PDGFR and a-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA) were confirmed by im-munohistochemical methods. Results Compared with those in the model gr oup, it was found in enalapril treated groups: (1) serum levels of collagen type 1V and LN were significantly reduced (P< 0. 01); (2) the pro-gression of fibrosis was delayed (P < 0. 01); (3) the expressions of PDGFR and a-SMA were decreased. Conclusion The renin-angiotensin system was involved in the development of hepatic fibrosis induced by Cd4. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and enalapril could slow down the rate of hepatic fibrosis. This effect might be due to the ability of this drug in suppressing the expression of PDGFR of liver tissue.展开更多

To compare the effects of losartan, enalapril and their combination in the prevention ofleft ventricular remodeling (LVRM) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the rat. Methods. AMI model was induced in female SD rats by ligating left coronary artery. Forty-eight hours after the procedure, 83 surviving rats were randomized into one of the following 4 groups: 1 ) AMI control group (n =19), 2) losartan group (n= 22, 3 mg @ kg - 1 @ d - 1 ), 3 ) enalapril group (n = 20, 1 mg @ kg - 1 @ d - 1 ), 4) losartan - enalapril combinative group (n = 22, 3 and 1 mg @ kg- 1 @ d - 1 respectively). 5 ) sham-operated group ( n =10) and 6) normal rats group (n = 10) were selected randomly to serve as non-infarction controls. Losartan and enalapril were delivered by direct gastric gavage. After 4 weeks of medical therapy, hemodynamic studies were performed in each group, then the rat hearts were fixed with 10% formalin and pathologic analysis on them was performed. Complete experimental data was obtained in 56 rats, comprising 1 ) AMI controls (n = 11 ), 2) losartan group (n = 10), 3 ) enalapril group (n = 10), 4) the combination of losartan and enalapril group (n = 11 ),5) sham - operated group (n = 6) and 6) normal controls (n=8). Results. There were no significant differences among the 4 AMI groups in MI size (41.7% ~ 43.4%, all P> 0.05). Compared with sham group, the left ventricular (LV) end diastolic pressure (LVEDP), volume (LVV), long and short axis length (L and D), as well as LV absolute and relative weight (LVAW and LVRW)in AMI group were all significantly increased ( P <0.05 ~ 0. 001 ); whereas the maximum left ventricular pressure rising and droping rates ( + dp/dt) and their corrected values by LV systolic pressure ( + dp/dt/LVSP)were significantly reduced (all P <0.001 ), indicating LVRM occurred and LV systolic and diastolic function impaired after AMI. Compared with AMI group , LVEDP, LVV, LVAW and LVRW were all significantly decreased (P <0.05~0.001 ); while + dp/dt/LVSP were significantly enhanced in all 3 treatment groups (P <0.05~0.001 ) except -dp/dt/LVSP in losartan group (P> 0. 05 ). There were no significant differences in the above indices among the 3 treatment groups (all P> 0.05). Conclusion. Both losartan and enalapril can prevent from LVRM after AMI in the rat and improve LV function with equivalent effects. There seems no additive effect when the 2 drugs are used in combination.展开更多
