Abstract: AIM: To study the activation of NAD-PH oxidase in diabetic cardiomyopathy participates in myocardial injury that is likely reversed by an endothe-lin receptor antagonist CPU0213.METHODS: Male SD rats were administrated STZ (60mgkg-1 d-1,i.p.) to develop diabetes mellitus for 8 weeks. CPU0213 (100 mg/kg, p.o .) and aminoguanidine (AMI, 100 mg/kg, p.o .) were applied for 4 weeks. RESULTS: CPU0213 and AMI could significantly al-leviate myocardial hypertrophy, reduce the level of ET-1 and oxidative stress except blood glucose in diabetic rats.Over-expression of mRNA and protein of p22phox and p67phox in neonatal SD rats myocytes incubated with high glucose was suppressed by both CPU0213 and AMI.CONCLUSION: Endothelin receptor antagonist CPU0213 and AMI alleviated diabetic cardiomyopathy in rats, mediated by suppressing over-expression of NADPH oxidase in the myocardium .
