Abstract

Background: Protective role of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) have been demonstrated in hypertension, acute ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and postischemic heart failure (HF) progression. Their effects are limited by low bioavailability of endogenous EETs. Levels of EETs in tissue can be elevated by inhibition of EETs degrading enzyme soluble epoxid hydrolase (sEH) or administration of agonistic EETs analogues. Here, we examined the effect of EET analogue EET-A and sEH inhibitor cAUCB to acute I/R injury and HF progression in normotensive (HanSD) and Ren-2 transgenic hypertensive rat (TGR).
