Resumo: The objective was to evaluate the effect of inhibition of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) with enalapril maleate in follicular development, gene expression of granulosa cells and in vivo production of embryos in cattle. In Experiment 1, we used four Girolando (Bos taurus x Bos indicus) cows to evaluate the potential suppression of cardiocirculatory system and validation of the effective dose of Enalapril Maleate. Was administered 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 mg / kg of enalapril maleate and measured mean arterial pressure (MAP). The best effective dose was 0.4 mg / kg and was used in the experiments 2 and 3. In Experiment 2, we used 20 Nelore (Bos indicus) cows to measure the MAP and ovarian vascular density at 0, 2, 4 7, 10 and 24 hours after Enalapril administration. In Experiment 3, twelve Nelore (Bos indicus) cows were used. These were distributed homogeneously in two treatments: a) Enalapril Group; females subjected to superovulation protocol receiving enalapril maleate (20 mg / 5 ml) from D3 to D7 of protocol and b) Control Group; females subjected to superovulation protocol received placebo (saline 0.9 %) on the same dates and volume. In Experiment 4, follicular fluid and granulosa cells were collected in vivo by ultrasound guided follicular aspiration. Then was performed mRNA extraction and RT-PCR for the expression of enzymes P450 aromatase, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and MAS receptor. No effect of enalapril on MAP in animals treated with up to 0.3 mg / kg. Doses of 0.4 and 0.5 significantly decreased MAP in a dose-dependent level (P <0.05). There was no significant effect of enalapril maleate or the harvest time in MAP of Bos indicus cows. Enalapril significantly reduced vascular density ovarian up to 24 hours after administration. No effect of Enalapril on anovulatory follicles and corpora lutea (P> 0.05). The ovulation rate was significantly higher in the Enalapril group (P <0.001). Gene expression was similar between treated and untreated cows. The ACE inhibition through administration of Enalapril Maleate reduced MAP and ovarian vascular density, but not improved follicular growth did not increase the expression of genes associated with follicular development and did not increases in vivo production of embryos in superstimulated cows.
