The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of prehypertensive losartan and amlodipine administration on left ventricular (LV) remodeling and function in spontaneously hypertensive rats-stroke prone (SHRSP).
Spontaneously hypertensive rats-stroke prone were prehypertensively administered losartan, amlodipine, or vehicle. Wistar-Kyoto rats were used as a control. Blood pressure of the rats was determined by tail-cuff method, and LV structure and function were measured by echocardiography and LV cannulation. Collagen volume fraction was analyzed by picrosirius red staining. Protein expressions of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and angiotensin II type 1 (AT1R) and type 2 (AT2R) receptors were determined by use of the Western blotting method.
Although both drugs downregulated BNP protein expression, the LV remodeling and function were more improved with losartan than with amlodipine treatment. Losartan upregulated AT1R and downregulated AT2R protein expression.
Both drugs inhibited LV remodeling and improved LV function in prehypertensively treated SHRSP. Losartan provided better continued heart protection, potentially due to its persistent inhibition of AT1R and activation of AT2R in the myocardium.

本研究旨在评估高血压前期给予氯沙坦和氨氯地平对易卒中型自发性高血压大鼠(SHRSP)左心室(LV)重构及功能的影响。
对易卒中型自发性高血压大鼠进行高血压前期给药,分别给予氯沙坦、氨氯地平或赋形剂。以Wistar-Kyoto大鼠作为对照。采用尾套法测定大鼠血压,通过超声心动图和左心室插管测量左心室结构和功能。用苦味酸天狼星红染色分析胶原容积分数。采用蛋白质印迹法测定脑钠肽(BNP)、血管紧张素II 1型(AT1R)和2型(AT2R)受体的蛋白表达。
尽管两种药物均下调了BNP蛋白表达,但氯沙坦治疗较氨氯地平治疗能更有效地改善左心室重构和功能。氯沙坦上调了AT1R蛋白表达,下调了AT2R蛋白表达。
在高血压前期治疗的SHRSP中,两种药物均抑制了左心室重构并改善了左心室功能。氯沙坦提供了更好的持续性心脏保护作用,这可能归因于其对心肌中AT1R的持续抑制和对AT2R的激活。
