| |
A prospective consecutive case series of patients

The
crosstalk between insulin and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone signaling
systems and its effect on glucose metabolism and diabetes prevention |
| |
From the clinical standpoint, the inhibition
of the renin angiotensin system improves insulin sensitivity and
decreases the incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). This
might represent an alternative approach to prevent type 2 diabetes
in patients with hypertension and metabolic syndrome (PubMed) |
