We have recently demonstrated that peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPAR alpha) stimulation lowers the production of angiotensin II while increasing the production of Ang-(1-7), both in cardiac and plasmatic level. This stimulation improves nitric oxide bioavailability, preserving cardiac histologic features and functioning. Based on these results, we decided to study the effect of PPAR alpha stimulation on renin angiotensin system components of ischemic myocardium. Male Wistar rats (weighing 300-350 g) were assigned to the following groups: (1) sham, (2) myocardial ischemia vehicle treated (MI-V), and (3) myocardial ischemia clofibrate treated. Expression of the angiotensin-converting enzyme increased during ischemia, whereas clofibrate-treated group remained comparable to control. Activation of the PPARa receptor stimulated the expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme-2; while the activity of this enzyme was increased in MI-V, clofibrate inhibited any change. The concentration of bradykinin and phospho-Akt(SER473) in homogenate increased in the animals treated with the drug. Mas receptor expression increased in MI-V rats. In conclusion, stimulation of PPARa by clofibrate prevents an increase in the activity of renin angiotensin system and promotes the production of vasodilator substances.
