摘要
We studied the in vivo effects of estradiol on size and biochemical parameters of cardiomyocytes in pathophysiological conditions such as obesity and insulin resistance. Male Wistar rats were normally fed (controls, n = 7) or fed with high-fat diet (obese, n = 14). Half of the obese rats (obese + estradiol, n = 7) were treated with a single dose of estradiol (40 g/kg, intraperitoneally) and 24 hours after treatment all the rats were killed. Estradiol in vivo in obese rats resulted in a significant increase in protein kinase B (Akt) activation (P < .05) and decrease in heart mass (P < .05), ratio of the heart mass/body mass (P < .05), transverse diameters of cardiomyocytes (P < .001), concentration of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (P < .001), and total cholesterol (P < .01) compared with obese nontreated rats. Our results suggest that estradiol in obese/IR rats affects the size of cardiomyocytes and its actions lead in vivo to a reduction in obesity-induced cardiac hypertrophy, via Akt.
