摘要
Angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs) are widely used in treating hypertension. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that a novel ARB, azilsartan medoxomil (AZL-M) will prevent renal and cardiovascular injury in the spontaneously hypertensive obese rat (SHROB), a model of cardiometabolic syndrome. Male SHROB were treated with vehicle or AZL-M orally for 56 days. Vehicle treated normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats served as controls. The effects of AZL-M on kidney injury, vascular endothelial and heart functions, lipid profile, and glucose tolerance were assessed. AZL-M demonstrated anti-hypertensive effects along with markedly improved vascular endothelial function in SHROB. In these rats, AZL-M demonstrates strong kidney protective effects with lower albuminuria and nephrinuria along with reduced tubular cast formation and glomerular injury. AZL-M treatment also improved left ventricular heart function, attenuated development of left ventricular hypertrophy, and reduced cardiac fibrosis in SHROB. Overall, these findings demonstrate kidney and heart protective effects of AZL-M in SHROB, and these effects were associated with its ability to lower blood pressure and improve endothelial function.
