Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors reduce body weight, lower blood pressure (BP), and improve insulin sensitivity in animal models of cardiometabolic syndrome. These effects are generally attributed to reduced angiotensin (Ang) II formation; however, these therapies also increase levels of Ang-(1-7), a beneficial hormone opposing Ang II actions. We hypothesized this Ang-(1-7) generation contributes to the insulin sensitizing effects of ACE inhibition in obese mice. Adult male C57BL/6J mice were placed on a 60% high fat diet for 11 weeks. During the last 3 weeks of diet, mice received normal water or water containing the ACE inhibitor captopril (50 mg/l) as well as the Ang-(1-7) mas receptor antagonist A779 (400 or 800 ng.kg(-1).min(-1)) or saline vehicle via subcutaneous osmotic mini-pumps. At the end of treatment, arterial BP was measured and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps were performed in conscious obese mice receiving vehicle, captopril, captopril plus A779, or A779 (n = 6-13/group). Captopril reduced body weight (28 +/- 2 vs. 41 +/- 2 g saline; p = 0.001), lowered systolic BP (109 +/- 6 vs.144 +/- 7 mmHg saline; p=0.041), and improved whole-body insulin sensitivity (steady-state glucose infusion rate: 31 +/- 4 vs. 16 +/- 2 mg.kg(-1).min saline; p = 0.001) in obese mice. A779 attenuated captopril-mediated improvements in insulin sensitivity (23 +/- 2 mg.kg(-1).min; p = 0.042), with no effect on body weight (32 +/- 2 g; p = 0.441) or BP (111 +/- 7 mmHg; p = 0.788). There was no effect of A779 alone on cardiometabolic outcomes. These data suggest that insulin-sensitizing effects of ACE inhibition are in part due to activation of Ang-(1-7)/mas receptor pathways, and provide new insight into mechanisms underlying the positive metabolic effects of these therapies.
