Effect of fosinopril on transcription levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme and angiotensinconverting enzyme 2 mRNAs in liver tissues of rats with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
Objective To investigate the effect of fosinopril on transcription levels of mRNAs of angiotensin-converting enzyme(ACE)and ACE2 in liver tissue of rats with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)induced by high lipid diet.Methods A total of 40 male SD rats were fed with normal forage for 1 week and randomly divided into four groups,10 for each.The rats in normal control(NC)group were fed with normal forage and administered with 1 ml of physiological saline by gavage,while those in high lipid(HC)group were fed ...
