Article Synopsis
- Diabetic ACE2-KO mice exhibited earlier and more severe kidney damage, including increased albuminuria and elevated serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels, indicating that ACE2 plays a protective role in kidney health.
- Treatment with an AT1 receptor blocker partially improved kidney function in ACE2-KO mice, suggesting ACE2's protective effects go beyond just reducing angiotensin II signaling.
Aim: We examined the hypothesis that there is a positive, independent association between polymorphisms of lamin A/C gene (LMNA) and arterial stiffness in Japanese.
Methods: The subjects were 261 men (mean age, 64.4+/-0.
