ACE-inhibition increases podocyte number in experimental glomerular disease independent of proliferation

Objective: The objective of this article is to test the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibition on glomerular epithelial cell number in an inducible experimental model of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Background: Although ACE-inhibition has been shown to limit podocyte...
