Telmisartan Treatment Decreases Visceral Fat Accumulation and Improves Serum Levels of Adiponectin and Vascular Inflammation Markers in Japanese Hypertensive Patients
Abstract
Hypertension contributes to the occurrence and progression of cardiovascular diseases. The angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker telmisartan is reported to activate the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and improve insulin sensitivity. We investigated the effects of telmisartan treatment on visceral fat, serum adiponectin and vascular inflammation markers in Japanese hypertensive patients. This was an open-label, non-controlled...
