N2 - Our preclinical study demonstrated that esmolol produces early regression of left ventricular hypertrophy in arterial hypertension. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of short-term esmolol therapy on the regression of left anterior descending artery remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), and to determine whether the asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA)/dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) pathway, a regulator of nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, accounted for this regression. Fourteen-month-old male SHRs were treated intravenously with vehicle (SHR, n=15) or esmolol (SHR-E, n=20) (300 μg kg-1 min-1). Age-matched, vehicle-treated male Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY, n=15) served as controls. SHRs were also treated with nitroglycerin (SHR-N, n=5). After 48 h, the left anterior descending artery structure and morphology were assessed, and dose-response curves for 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, 10-9-3 × 10-5 mol l-1) were constructed. ADMA concentrations in plasma and left ventricle and DDAH activity in tissue were analyzed. Wall thickness and cross-sectional area were significantly lower after treatment with esmolol in SHR-E than in SHR. Media thickness and smooth muscle cell count were lower in SHR-E than in SHR. Esmolol induced a significant reduction in adventitial cell count in SHR-E. The area under the concentration-response curves was significantly higher in SHR than in SHR-E, as were the esmolol normalized coronary artery contracting responses to 5-HT. We found significantly lower ADMA levels and significantly higher DDAH activity in the ventricle in SHR-E than in SHR. The protective effect of esmolol on the regression of left anterior descending artery remodeling may be related to the reduction in ADMA levels.
