In male spontaneously hypertensive rats, powdered Aliskiren administered by gavage did not affect the gene expression studied and decreased NADPH oxidase protein expression compared with untreated rats. In male Swiss albino mice with STZ-induced diabetes, daily oral Aliskiren significantly lowered fasting blood glucose compared with the STZ-only treated group. In male mice, cardiomyocyte cross-sectional diameter was similar across groups, including those receiving hyperhomocysteinemia-inducing diets with or without Aliskiren administered via osmotic mini-pump.
