Background: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have a higher rate of restenosis following angioplasty. Peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-alpha (PPAR) and gamma ligands such as fenofibrate and rosiglitazone, respectively, have been shown to have protective effects on the vessel wall. We studied the effect of fenofibrate and rosiglitazone on intimal hyperplasia in the Zucker rat, a model for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus, following balloon catheter-induced injury. Methods and Results: Three groups of 13-week-old female fatty Zucker rats were administered an aqueous suspension of either 3 mg/kg/d rosiglitazone (n=7) or 150 mg/kg/d fenofibrate (n=6) by gavage, or served as controls (n=9). In addition, two groups of 13-week-old female lean Zucker rats were either administered 3 mg/kg/d rosiglitazone (n=6) or served as controls (n=6). Carotid balloon injury was induced 1 week after the drugs were started. The drug administration was continued for 3 weeks. A 2-mm balloon catheter was introduced through the femoral artery to the left carotid. The balloon was inflated to 4 atmospheres for 20 seconds and then was deflated to 2 atmospheres and dragged down to the aorta. The rats were killed 3 weeks after the injury. The carotid intima/media ratio was calculated. Intimal hyperplasia after carotid balloon-induced injury in the fatty Zucker rats was significantly reduced in the group treated with rosiglitazone (0.18+-0.29) compared with the untreated group (0.97+-0.13; P
