Effect of fenofibrate on angiotensin II and angiotensin-(1-7) levels. (a) Angiotensin II and (b) angiotensin-(1-7) concentrations were determined in the homogenate from myocardial ischemic areas from the sham (Sh), myocardial infarction (MI) vehicle-treated, and MI fenofibrate-treated experimental groups. The values show the ( per group). vs. CT-Sh; Δ vs. CT-Sh; Σ vs. MetS-Sh; # vs. CT-MI-V; ω vs. CT-MI-V; & vs. MetS-MI-V; Ψ vs. CT-MI-F. Analysis of variance-Newman-Keuls.
