Angiotensin receptor blocker telmisartan suppresses renal gluconeogenesis during starvation
The kidney plays an important role in gluconeogenesis during starvation. To clarify the anti-diabetic action of angiotensin receptor blockers, we examined the effects of telmisartan on the sodium-glucose co-transporters (SGLT) and the pathways of renal gluconeogenesis in streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus (DM) rats. At 4 weeks, the DM rats treated with/without telmisartan for 2 weeks and ...
متن کاملAzilsartan: Novel Angiotensin Receptor Blocker.
OBJECTIVE To describe the efficacy and safety profile of the new angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), "Azilsartan Medoxomil", reviewing data available from both clinical and pre-clinical studies. MATERIAL We completed a review of the English literature from PubMed using the keywords- azilsartan medoxomil, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and ...
متن کاملEvidence for pericyte origin of TSC-associated renal angiomyolipomas and implications for angiotensin receptor inhibition therapy.
Nearly all patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) develop renal angiomyolipomas, although the tumor cell of origin is unknown. We observed decreased renal angiomyolipoma development in patients with TSC2- polycystic kidney disease 1 deletion syndrome and hypertension that were treated from an early age with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers compar...
متن کاملAngiotensin receptor blocker drugs and inhibition of adrenal beta-arrestin-1-dependent aldosterone production: Implications for heart failure therapy
Aldosterone mediates many of the physiological and pathophysiological/cardio-toxic effects of angiotensin II (AngII). Its synthesis and secretion from the zona glomerulosa cells of the adrenal cortex, elevated in chronic heart failure (HF), is induced by AngII type 1 receptors (AT1Rs). The AT1R is a G protein-coupled receptor, mainly coupling to Gq/11 proteins. However, it can also signal throu...
متن کاملEffects of angiotensin II receptor blocker on proteinuria in renal transplant recipients.
INTRODUCTION Therapeutic approaches directed at reducing proteinuria are under development. The aim of the present study was to prospectively elucidate the impact of losartan treatment in renal transplant recipients with persistent proteinuria. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-eight patients with persistent proteinuria or mild hypertension were assigned to receive losartan. Proteinuria was defined...
