Hypothesis-generating for AT1 blockade in age-related renal injury; leaves open human translation and does not alter practice.
Does L-158,809 improve metabolic function and provide renoprotection in aging male Fischer-344 rats?
Long-term AT1 receptor blockade prevents age-related insulin resistance and renal injury in normotensive rats.
Gilliam‐Davis et al. (2007) studied this question.
