Insulin resistance and microalbuminuria: A Cross-Sectional, Case-Control study of 158 patients with type 2 diabetes and different degrees of urinary albumin excretion
Effect of the Urotensin Receptor Antagonist Palosuran in Hypertensive Patients With Type 2 Diabetic Nephropathy
The urotensin system has been hypothesized to play an important role in the pathophysiology of diabetic nephropathy. In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-period crossover study, the effects of the urotensin receptor antagonist palosuran on urinary albumin excretion and blood pressure in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy treated with a single blocker of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system were assessed. Patients with 24-hour albuminuria >0.5 and 135 and 85 an
