ABSTRACT
Chronic (15 days) single daily intraperitoneal insertion of the new preparation MT (5 mg/kg) and metoprolol (10 mg/kg) into SHR rats leads to the same decrease (18%) in arterial pressure. In addition, MT exhibits a cardioprotective effect because of NO-mimetic properties, increasing NO formation in myocardium via increasing general NOS activity and eNOS expression. MT normalizes iNOS expression in myocardium mitochondria and decreases nitrotyrosine (nitrosation stress marker) formation. At the same time, the reference preparation metoprolol did not exhibit NO-mimetic properties in myocardium of SHR rats.
