The present study investigated the effect of ACE inhibitor on fasting blood glucose level in hypertension induced by the inhibition of NOS. The results showed that ACE inhibitor potentiated the hypoglycaemic effect of NOS inhibitor.
The inhibition of renin angiotensin system pathway has been largely documented to be effective in the control of cardiovascular events. The present study investigated the effect of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor on fasting blood glucose level in hypertension induced by the inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in male Wistar rats. Hypertension was induced by the inhibition of NOS using a non-selective NOS inhibitor, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME). The blockade of NOS resulted in an increase in blood pressure, ACE, angiotensin II and endothelin-1 levels, and a decrease in fasting blood glucose and nitric oxide (NO) levels. The hypertensive rats treated with ACE inhibitor (ramipril) recorded a decrease in blood pressure, ACE, angiotensin II, endothelin-1, NO and fasting blood glucose levels, and an increase in prostacyclin level. In conclusion, ACE inhibitor potentiated the hypoglycaemic effect of NOS inhibitor and this effect is independent of NO and pancreatic insulin release.
