Combination therapy with losartan and enalapril was more effective than monotherapy with either drug in achieving an early antiproteinuric response. Long-term treatment with losartan was as effective as the combined treatment, possibly due to a dual inhibitory effect on the RAS. The antiproteinuric effect may be related, in part, to reduced TGF-beta 1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
