Figure Legend Snippet: The decrease in NO levels in vivo following the ingestion of HFD and L-NAME decreased the activity of the NO-sGC-cGMP pathway. cGMP-activated PKG has hypotensive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fibrotic effects; therefore, decreased activity of the NO-sGC-cGMP pathway may lead to inflammation, hypertrophy, and apoptosis, leading to the development of HFpEF. Furthermore, the decrease in NO levels in vivo converts Ang I to Ang II; hence, a decrease in NO activates RAS. Ang II increased by RAS activity increases TGF-β expression, which consequently activates the MAPK signaling pathway, leading to fibroblast proliferation, ECM overdeposition, and fibrosis. Ang II also activates the PI3K-Akt and JAK-STAT signaling pathways, which may trigger inflammation, hypertrophy, and apoptosis, leading to HFpEF development. Early administration of the RAS inhibitors Cap and Sac/Val may suppress downstream signaling by inhibiting RAS, thereby reducing inflammation and fibrosis and preventing the onset of HFpEF.
