Implications for treating insulinresistant hypertension and cardiovascular disease The angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) telmisartan was reported to activate the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-_ (PPAR_) in transactivation assays, whereas other ARBs, with the possible exception of irbesartan, did not (1). Telmisartan also induced adipogenesis and...

Theodore W. Kurtz, MD epartment of Laboratory Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, California, USA ABSTRACT The metabolic syndrome is characterized by the clustering of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, older antihypertensive agents...

T.W. Kurtz Abstract Hypertension commonly occurs as part of a genetically complex disorder of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism known as the metabolic syndrome. Most current antihypertensive drugs appear ineffective against the metabolic syndrome, which is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease and death in affected patients. Angiotensin...

TheodoreW. Kurtza and Michal Pravenecb Several lines of evidence suggest that angiotensinconverting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and some angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) may improve insulin sensitivity and decrease the risk for type 2 diabetes. It is widely assumed that the potential antidiabetic properties of these agents...

Introduction Evidence from a range of excellent clinical trials proves that lowering BP with several classes of antihypertensive drugs, including angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs), will reduce the complications of hypertension. ARBs, along with other antihypertensives, are beneficial in reducing stroke, coronary vascular disease...
