Methods: Diabetic rats were randomized to receive vehicle (sham and I/R), telmisartan (10 mg/kg/day, orally), PPAR-gamma antagonist GW9662 (1 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneally) or both for 14 days. On 15th day, excluding sham group, left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion was performed for 45 min followed by 1 h of reperfusion. Haemodynamic, biochemical, histopathological, ultrastructural, immunohistochemical (Bax and Bcl-2 protein), TUNEL positivity, infarct size and western blot studies were performed.Results: Telmisartan treatment significantly improved cardiac function by normalizing mean arterial pressure, left ventricular pressure (+/- LVdP/dt(max), a marker of myocardial contraction and relaxation), by decreasing left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (a marker of preload, 3.7 +/- 0.41 vs. 7.3 +/- 0.89, p < 0.001) and percent infarct area (37.52 +/- 5.83 vs. 46.27 +/- 3.20, p < 0.01) as compared to diabetic I/R group. Interestingly, GW9662 worsens the I/R injury (percent infarct area, 54.38 +/- 6.48 vs. 46.27 +/- 3.20, p < 0.01), whereas telmisartan with GW9662 (percent infarct area, 41.16 +/- 8.23 vs. 46.27 +/- 3.20, p < 0.05) showed lesser significant results as compared to telmisartan alone. Additionally, telmisartan significantly ameliorates activities of endogenous antioxidants, creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme, lactate dehydrogenase and prevented the increase of tumour necrosis factor-alpha and malondialdehyde in myocardium. Furthermore, telmisartan also decreased Bax expression (4.45 +/- 1.24% vs. 10.25 +/- 0.96%, p < 0.01), number of TUNEL-positive cells (6.2 +/- 0.98% vs. 13.0 +/- 1.6, p < 0.01), inflammation, myonecrosis and increased Bcl-2 expression (5.45 +/- 0.15% vs. 1.24 +/- 0.3%, p < 0.01). On the other hand, GW9662 treatment alone increased the Bax expression, TUNEL positivity and decreased Bcl-2 expression. Telmisartan protective effects were partially attenuated by a co-administration with GW9662. Western blot analysis showed that telmisartan treatment enhanced PPAR-gamma expression, whereas GW9662 decreased it in myocardium.Conclusions: In addition to the class effect of ARBs, telmisartan has a beneficial effect in I/R injury in diabetic rats in part because of activation of PPAR-gamma.
