The effects of the red wine polyphenolic compounds (Provinol) on hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis, and vascular remodeling were investigated after chronic inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) synthase by administration of NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) to rats. Rats were divided into four groups: a control group, a group treated for 4 wk with L-NAME (40 mg · kg-1 · day-1), and two groups treated with L-NAME followed by 3 wk of either spontaneous recovery or recovery with Provinol treatment (40 mg · kg-1 · day-1). Administration of Provinol produced a greater readiness of the decrease in blood pressure than that in the spontaneous recovery group. Provinol significantly depressed myocardial fibrosis and expedited the decrease in aortic cross-sectional area, the increase in endothelium-dependent relaxation, and the decrease in contraction of the aorta. These effects of Provinol were associated with a greater increase of NO synthase activity in the left ventricle and the aorta. The present study provides evidence that Provinol accelerates the regression of blood pressure and improves structural and functional cardiovascular changes produced by chronic inhibition of NO synthesis.
