Effect of Telmisartan on Arsenic-Induced (Sub-chronic) Perturbations in Redox Homeostasis, Pro-inflammatory Cascade and Aortic Dysfunction in Wistar Rats

An experimental study was conducted in male Wistar rats to explore the antioxidant potential of telmisartan (an AT 1 receptor blocker) to overcome arsenic (‘As’)-induced perturbations in redox homeostasis pro-inflammatory cytokines, prostaglandin-E 2 levels and aortic dysfunction in Wistar rats. Wis...

Zusammenfassung:An experimental study was conducted in male Wistar rats to explore the antioxidant potential of telmisartan (an AT 1 receptor blocker) to overcome arsenic (‘As’)-induced perturbations in redox homeostasis pro-inflammatory cytokines, prostaglandin-E 2 levels and aortic dysfunction in Wistar rats. Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups of six each. Group-I served as untreated control, while group-II received sodium (meta) arsenite (NaAsO 2 ) (10 mg/kg b.wt. p.o ) for a period of 60 days. Experimental rats in group-III received treatment similar to group-II, but in addition received telmisartan (with 1% aqueous solution of Tween 80) @ 10 mg/kg b.wt. ( p.o ) for a similar duration, while rats in group-IV received telmisartan alone. Arsenic exposure resulted in significant ( p
