The 5-Lipoxygenase Inhibitor Zileuton Protects Pressure Overload-Induced Cardiac Remodeling via Activating PPARα

Figure 9

PPARα knockdown blunts zileuton’s antioxidative effect and cardioprotection in vivo. Mice were subjected to AAV9-shPPARα injection. Two weeks after injection, the mice were subjected to AB surgery. One week after AB, the mice were treated with zileuton (100 mg/kg/d) for 7 weeks. (a) Activities of SOD, Gpx, and NADPH oxidase in mouse hearts (). (b, c) Echocardiography results ().
