摘要
Rats were made hypertensive by the administration of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor nitro-L-arginine (LNA, 2.74 mmol/L) in drinking water for 7 d. Hearts from hemodynamically assessed animals were analyzed for lipid peroxidation (LPO), gamma-glutamylcysteine-synthetase (gamma-GCS), glutathione disulfide reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and total radical trapping potential (TRAP) activities. LNA treatment increased the mean arterial blood pressure by 46% and the heart rate by 22% without changing plasma renin activity. LNA treatment resulted in a 30% increase in LPO. gamma-GCS was reduced by 48% and GR by 36% in the cardiac tissue of hypertensive rats as compared to controls. The activity of nonselenium GSHPx was reduced by 27%, and selenium-dependent GSHPx activity in the heart was not affected by LNA treatment. In hypertensive rats, SOD activity was increased by 16%, and CAT was decreased by 46%. TRAP was lower (27%) in the myocardium of hypertensive rats than in that of controls. These data suggest that LNA-induced hypertension is associated with increased myocardial oxidative stress.
