| pubmed-article:2960073 | pubmed:abstractText | The effects of combined renovascular hypertension and diabetes mellitus on the rat heart were investigated in order to detect possible synergistic effects of the two conditions. Hypertensive diabetic and hypertensive nondiabetic young male Wistar rats were compared with diabetic and non-diabetic controls. Since the normal body weight increase of the diabetic animals was markedly suppressed a weight-matched nondiabetic control group was introduced in addition. Hypertension was established for eight weeks by a surgical stenosis of the left renal artery, diabetes mellitus was maintained for four weeks after a single intraperitoneal injection of 75 mg/kg streptozotocin. Light and electron microscopic stereological parameters were obtained for the left ventricular papillary muscles. The whole hearts were also investigated histologically. Qualitative morphology failed to substantiate synergistic effects in the hypertensive diabetic rats. Vascular abnormalities were not observed. The stereological parameters, however, revealed microstructural reactions which were observed exclusively in the hypertensive diabetic group: the volume ratio of mitochondria-to-myofibrils was decreased, the surface-to-volume ratio of mitochondria was increased (reduction of mitochondrial size) and the mean cross sectional area of capillaries was decreased. Similar quantitative mitochondrial changes have been frequently described in long-standing hypertension, but in the present investigation, they were not found in the nondiabetic hypertensive group. It is therefore concluded that diabetes mellitus potentiates the effects of chronic pressure overload on myocardial cells. However, the myocardial fibrosis which has been found by other groups at later stages of hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus was not detected in the present study. The reduced mean cross sectional area of capillaries in hypertensive-diabetic rats may be correlated with early molecular changes of the myocardial interstitium or with early abnormalities of small arteries. Thus our stereological results support the hypothesis that a non-coronary hypertensive diabetic cardiomyopathy occurs in mammalian hearts. | lld:pubmed |
