Abstract
Objective
The objective of this study is to explore the protective effect of an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) on local cardiovascular angiotensin II (AngII) and oxidative stress markers such as malondialdehyde (MDA), NADPH oxydase p47phox, and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine/8-hydroxyguanosine (8-OHdG/8-OHG) of mice that had chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH).
Methods
Thirty-two healthy male C57B6J mice were randomly divided into four groups: CIH (12 weeks of CIH), ARB (CIH+Telmisartan), air control (room air delivery), and blank control (no treatment). AngII, p47phox, and 8-OHdG/8-OHG were detected in mouse cardiocytes by immunohistochemistry. MDA was measured with the thiobarbituric acid method.
Measurements and results
The highest AngII levels occur in the ARB treatment group (P < 0.05), followed by the CIH group (which was higher than the two control groups; P = 0.000). The levels of p47phox were statistically higher in the CIH group than in the other groups (P = 0.000) and lower in the ARB group (but still higher than in the two control groups, P = 0.000). The levels of 8-OHdG/8-OHG were the highest in the CIH group (P < 0.05), followed by the ARB group (which was higher than the two control groups, P = 0.000). The levels of MDA in the myocardial homogenate of mice were the highest in the CIH group (P = 0.000).
Conclusions
Based on the above results, it can be concluded that Telmisartan may protect mouse cardiocytes from oxidative stress damage due to CIH.
