Study of pioglitazone treatment for experimental atherosclerosis mice
Objective:To study the inhibition effect of pioglitazone on the aortic plaque area of murine atherosclerosis and the expression of MMP-9.Methods:Mice were fed with high fat diets to build the model of atherosclerosis for 16 weeks.Pioglitazone was given from the 8th week and that effect on blood lipids
atherosclerotic plaque area and the expression of MMP-9 was observed through immunohistochemistry.Results:The concentrations of TC
TG and LDL were significantly reduced by pioglitazone at a dose of 10 mg/kg
but pioglitazone had little effect on HDL.Meanwhile
pioglitazone could reduce the aortic plaque area and the MMP-9 expression.Conclusion:Pioglitazone might inhibit atherosclerosis in mice by decreasing the expression of MMP-9.
