Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers Downsize Adipocytes in Spontaneously Type 2 Diabetic Rats With Visceral Fat Obesity

Published: Apr 1, 2007
Abstract
To investigate the influence of blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) on adipocytes, we compared the effect of telmisartan versus valsartan and amlodipine on adipocyte cellularity in the spontaneously type 2 diabetic, obese rat model.Male Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima Fatty rats, 8-week-old, were divided into four groups as follows: valsartan (V) group (10 mg/kg, n = 12), telmisartan (T) group (5 mg/kg, n = 12), amlodipine (A) group (2...
