| Abstract: | Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) were shown to ameliorate endothelial dysfunction in various human diseases and some of these inhibitors have been reported to enhance antioxidant defenses. The objective of the present study was to shown the abilities of enalapril and lisinopril as two nonthiol ACEi on mitochondrial toxicity due to paraquat. In this study, mitochondrial isolation from rat liver was divided into six groups. Group 1 was considered as control, group 2 received paraquat (5 mM), group 3 received enalapril (0.25 mM), group 4 received lisinopril (0.01 mM), group 5 received paraquat (5 mM) + enalapril (0.25 mM), and group 6 received paraquat(5 mM) + lisinopril (0.01 mM). Viability, lipid peroxidation, catalase activity, GSH (reduced glutathione) and GSSG (oxidized glutathione) concentrations were also determined. Simultaneous treatment of mitochondria with enalapril (0.25 mM) + paraquat (5 mM) and lisinopril (0.0.01 mM) + paraquat (5 mM) did not significantly ameliorate the mitochondrial toxicity induced by paraquat (5 mM) alone (p > 0.05). However, the nonthiol ACEi, enalapril showed to partially improve target of lipid peroxidation due to paraquat. In conclusion, nonthiol ACEi treatment did not improve the increased oxidative stress and the decreased antioxidant mechanisms. |
