The β-adrenergic blockers and antagonists of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) are among the drugs that present better results in the control of cardio-metabolic diseases. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the association of the β-blocker, atenolol, and an oral formulation of Ang-(1–7) on lipid metabolism in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The main results showed that SHR treated with oral formulation of Ang-(1–7) in combination to atenolol have an improvement of lipid metabolism with a reduction of total plasma cholesterol, improvement of oral fat load tolerance and an increase in the lipolytic response stimulated by the β-adrenergic agonist, isoproterenol, without modification of resting glucose or insulin sensitivity in adipocytes. In conclusion, we showed that administration of an Ang-(1–7) oral formulation in association with a β-blocker induces beneficial effects on dyslipidemia treatment associated with hypertension.
