Effect of Fosinopril on oxidative stress of pancreatic tissue in diabetic rats
Objective To study the oxidative stress in diabetic rat pancreas
and the changes of islet function after intervention of Fosinopril. Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group
diabetes group and Fosinopril treated group. The diabetes was induced by feeding the rats from diabetes group and Fosinopril group with high fat diet for 3 weeks and then once intraperitoneal injection of STZ (35 mg/kg)
while additionally Fosinopril (5 mg/kg) was given to the diabetic rats in Fosinopril treated group. Blood glucose
body weight
nitrotyrosine levels in pancreatic tissues were detected and the histopathologic changes of pancreatic tissues were observed. Results Nitrotyrosine content was significantly higher in diabetes group than that in control group (P0.01). Nitrotyrosine content and the level of oxidative stress were significantly decreased in Fosinopril treated group compared with those in diabetes group (P0.05). Conclusion Nitrotyrosine content is abnormal in diabetic rats
and Fosinopril can significantly inhibit the oxidative stress in pancreas.
