Effects of angiotensin II receptor antagonist on endothelial vasomotor function and urinary albumin excretion in type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria

Abstract: Type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria have impaired endothelium-dependent and -independent vasodilation. Treatment with low-dose losartan is sufficient to reduce microalbuminuria in these patients without alteration in endothelial function and systemic blood pressure.

“…type 2 diabetes; p22 phox ; endothelium-dependent relaxation; NADPH SUBSTANTIAL CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL evidence suggest that vascular diseases are currently the principal causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (6). In patients with type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance as well as endothelial dysfunction appears to precede the development of hyperglycemia (38,44,45). Therefore, endothelial dysfunction may be a critical early target for preventing cardiovascular disease.…”

“…84 A number of studies have specifically assessed the ARB valsartan. [85][86][87][88][89][90] The details and findings of these studies are summarized in Table A3 below. Overall, the studies are consistent with the renoprotective effect of ARBs, however, they do not provide additional data allowing a direct comparison with ACEi.…”

“…Endothelial dysfunction has received increasing attention as a potential contributor to the pathogenesis of vascular disease in diabetes mellitus. Under physiological conditions, there is a balanced release of endothelial-derived relaxing and contracting factors, but this delicate balance is altered in diabetes and atherosclerosis, thereby contributing to further progression of vascular and end-organ damage (Tan et al, 2002). Hyperglycemia is the major causal factor in the development of endothelial dysfunction in diabetes mellitus.…”
