Ang II increases ER Stress and inflammation, while RAS inhibitors reduce inflammation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in vitro: Adipocytes were treated with different concentration of Ang II (A). Differentiated adipocytes treated with media (control), Angiotensin II (Ang II), A + T (Ang II & Telmisartan), A + P-186 (Ang II & P-186), & A + T + P-186 (Ang II, Telmisartan & P-186) and ER stress as well as inflammatory markers were measured. Ang II (10 nM) treatment significantly (p < 0.05) increased ER stress markers (Chop, Atf4, Bip) (B–D) and pro inflammatory markers such as Il-6 and nuclear factor kappa B (Nfkb) (E,F). Ang II antagonist Telmisartan significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the Ang II induced ER stress and inflammation (B–F). Common letters indicate no significance. Data is presented as mean ± SEM (n = 5). p < 0.05.
