Angiotensin II receptor blockade reduces salt sensitivity of blood pressure through restoration of renal nitric oxide synthesis in patients with diabetic nephropathy

Angiotensin II receptor blockade reduces salt sensitivity of blood pressure through restoration of renal nitric oxide synthesis in patients with diabetic nephropathy

Introduction: We have previously demonstrated the increased salt sensitivity of blood pressure (BP) in diabetic patients with early nephropathy. Here, we examined the effects of an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) on salt sensitivity and renal oxidative stress or nitric oxide (NO) in those pati...
