چکیده انگلیسی
This study investigated the effects of combined minimal concentrations of quercetin and pioglitazone on angiotensin II-induced contraction of the aorta from fructose-streptozotocin (F-STZ)-induced type 2 diabetic rats and the possible role of superoxide anions (O2â) and nitric oxide (NO) in their potential therapeutic interaction. Contractile responses to Ang II of aortic rings from Sprague-Dawley (SD) and F-STZ rats were tested following pre-incubation of the tissues in the vehicle (DMSO; 0.05%), quercetin (Q, 0.1 μM), pioglitazone (P, 0.1 μM) or their combination (P + Q; 0.1 μM each). The amount of superoxide anion was evaluated by lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence and dihydroethidium fluorescence, and NO by assay of total nitrate/nitrite, and 4-Amino-5-Methylamino-2â²,7â²-Difluorofluorescein (DAF-FM) diacetate. The synergistic reduction of Ang II-induced contraction of diabetic but not normal aorta with minimally effective concentrations of P + Q occurs through inhibiting O2â and increasing NO bioavailability. This finding opens the possibility of maximal vascular protective/antidiabetic effects with low dose pioglitazone combined with quercetin, thus minimizing the risk of adverse effects.
