ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of atorvastatin on cardiovascular remodeling in renovascular hypertensive rats. Methods The 2-kindey,1-clip hypertensive rats(2K1C,Goldblatt) were prepared with Sprague-Dawley rat.SD rats were randomly divided into three groups normal control rats,hypertensive rats and hypertensive rats treated with atorvastatin(2 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)).After 6 weeks treatment,systolic blood pressure(SBP) was measured using the tail-cuff method.The plasma concentration of angiotensin Ⅱ and renin activity were determined by radioimmunoassay.The heart weight,the ratio of left ventricular weight to body weight were calculated.Results The plasma concentration of angiotensin Ⅱ((106.4?7.8)ng/L) and renin activity((20.6?2.4) ng/L)were significantly increaed in hypertensive rats compared with normal rats((72.3?5.4) ng/L and(12.5?3.7) ng/L)(P
