Purpose: Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), also acts as an activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma; PPAR-γ). Several studies have explored the PPAR-γ-endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) pathway associated with improvement of endothelial function by telmisartan. e ability of telmisartan to induce gene expression and protein level of eNOS and PPARγ in adipocytes was investigated.Methods: Expression of aP2, PPARγ, eNOS and iNOS genes were measured using the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. e changes, at the protein level, were explored by Western blot, which evaluated the native and phosphorylated eNOS forms, eNOS-Ser 1177 and eNOS-r 495 .Results: Adipocytes, exposed to telmisartan, exhibited an increase in PPARγ gene expression but a decrease in protein level. Nonetheless, a er the exposure to telmisartan, eNOS-Ser 1177 phosphorylation, associated with eNOS activity increment, reached its highest value while eNOS-r 495 phosphorylation, involved in the inhibition of eNOS activity, showed its lowest value.Conclusion: e results suggest that telmisartan preserves eNOS activity via a mechanism that is partially independent of the PPARγ-eNOS pathway in adipocytes.
