dc.description.abstractObjective: Arterial hypertension is often associated with pathologies related with oxidative stress. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have been used as a safe and effective treatment of hypertension and coronary heart disease. However, the significance of ACE inhibitor usage in hypertension-induced cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases is still unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor, on oxidative stress and antioxidant enzyme activities in brain tissues of rats with L-NAME (N-omega-Nitro-L-Arginine Methyl Ester hydrochloride) induced hypertension. Methods: Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups: Control, L-NAME, L-NAME plus lisinopril, and only lisinopril. Hypertension was induced by oral administration of the L-NAME (75 mg/kg/day) in drinking water for 6 weeks. Rats were treated with Lisinopril (10 mg/kg/day) for six weeks. Systolic blood pressures were measured at the first, third and sixth weeks by using tail cuff method. Malondialdehyde (MDA), Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT) and Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity were measured from the brain tissue. Nitric oxide (NO) levels were measured from plasma. Results: Our results showed that L-NAME leads to an increase in systolic blood pressure of animals. The antihypertensive effect of lisinopril was observed. MDA level was significantly increased, and antioxidant enzymes activities were decreased in L-NAME given group (p<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant differences between the lisinopril given and other groups according to antioxidant enzymes activities (p>0.05). Conclusion: In our study, hypertension led to oxidative damage in brain tissues. Although lisinopril prevents the hypertension induced oxidative damage, direct antioxidant effect was not observed. Further studies are needed in order to gain certainty effect of lisinopril in brain tissue.en_US
