1 GW0742, at 20 mg kg(-1) day(-1), attenuated ET-1 contraction by increasing RGS5 expression and restored the intracellular redox balance by reducing NADPH-oxidase activity, and by increasing the antioxidant genes expression. GW0742 endothelin 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 CONCLUSION: Vascular protective effects of GW0742 operate via PPAR-beta by interference with the ET-1 signalling as a result of increased expression of RGS5 and up-regulation of antioxidant genes and via PPAR-beta-independent mechanisms to decrease blood pressure. GW0742 endothelin 1 Rattus norvegicus
