Does blockade of the renin-angiotensin system increase plasma adiponectin levels in type-2 diabetic patients with proteinuria?
The results suggest that adiponectin is inversely correlated with proteinuria and treatment with ramipril both corrects proteinuria and increases the low adiponectin levels in diabetic patients.
Taken together, the results suggest that chronically supplemented Gln protects against exercise-induced hyperammonemia depending on exercise intensity and supplementation duration.
