Angiotensin-receptor blockade versus converting-enzyme inhibition in type 2 diabetes and nephropathy.
BACKGROUND Few studies have directly compared the renoprotective effects of angiotensin II-receptor blockers and angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in persons with type 2 diabetes. METHODS In this prospective, multicenter, double-blind, five-year study, we randomly assigned 250 subjects with type 2 diabetes and early nephropathy to receive either the angiotensin II-receptor blocke...
متن کاملEffect of angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade on cardiac remodeling in angiotensin II type 2 receptor null mice.
To clarify the possible involvement of uninhibited angiotensin II (Ang II) type 2 (AT(2)) receptor stimulation in the effects of an Ang II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor blocker, valsartan, we examined the cardiovascular remodeling induced by aortic banding with the use of wild-type (Agtr2+) and AT(2) receptor null (Agtr2-) mice. Aortic banding caused cardiac hypertrophy in Agtr2+ and Agtr2- mice to a...
متن کاملAngiotensin 2 Type 1 Receptor Blockade with Neprilysin Inhibition for Chronic Heart Failure: A New Paradigm?
A new treatment for heart failure (HF) combining angiotensin 2 type 1 receptor blockade with inhibition of the widespread membrane-bound enzyme, neprilysin (NEP), seems likely to take treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF) a major step forward. Neurohormonal pathways are central to the evolution and progression of HF irrespective of the exact initial triggering cardiac injury or overload, and...
متن کاملThe effect of angiotensin type 1 receptor blockade on adhesion molecules in patients with IgA nephropathy
The effect of angiotensin type 1 receptor blockade on adhesion molecules in patients with IgA nephropathy Sir, Various studies have linked inflammation and endothe-lial dysfunction in patients with chronic renal disease [1]. Plasma levels of adhesion molecules [soluble intracellu-lar adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM) and soluble vascular adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM)] are markers of endothelial dysfunc...
متن کاملAngiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade prevents cardiac remodeling in bradykinin B(2) receptor knockout mice.
Knockout mice (B(2)(-/-)) lacking the bradykinin (BK) B(2) receptor gene develop mild hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy, and myocardial damage. We hypothesized that these effects are due to the hypertrophying and damaging actions of angiotensin II (Ang II) in the absence of the balancing protection of BK. To verify this hypothesis, B(2)(-/-) or wild-type mice (B(2)(+/+)) were administered a non...
