Cardiac remodeling and myocardial dysfunction in obese spontaneously hypertensive rats.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The additive effects of obesity and metabolic syndrome on left ventricular (LV) maladaptive remodeling and function in hypertension are not characterized. METHODS: We compared an obese spontaneously hypertensive rat model (SHR-ob) with lean spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR-lean) and normotensive controls (Ctr). LV-function was investigated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and invasive LV-pressure measurements. LV-interstitial fibrosis was quantified and protein levels of phospholamban (PLB), Serca2a and glucose transporters (GLUT1 and GLUT4) were determined by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Systolic blood pressure was similar in SHR-lean and SHR-ob (252?±?7 vs. 242?±?7 mmHg, p?=?0.398) but was higher when compared to Ctr (155?±?2 mmHg, p?
