Abstract

Sedentary lifestyle associated with adiposity are considered important factors in the genesis of cardiovascular disease. The role of perivascular adipose tissue in vascular function has recently been recognized. In this study we aim to investigate the role of perivascular adipose tissue in the vascular responsiveness of aorta and femoral arteries in trained mice fed with high-fat diet. Concentration-response curves to: leptin, adiponectin, acetylcholine, sodium nitroprusside, phenylephrine, thromboxane A2 analog and endothelin-1 will be obtained with and without perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT+/PVAT-). Vascular and PVAT protein expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cytosolic Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD-1), mitochondrial Mn-superoxide dismutase (SOD-2), extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-±) will be determine. Tissues nitric oxide (NO) production and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation will be evaluate in PVAT+/PVAT-. Plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, TNF-±, IL-10, adiponectin, leptin, resistin, nitrite/nitrate and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) will be analyzed. (AU)
