Hyperglycemia modulates angiotensinogen gene expression

Elevated plasma angiotensinogen (AGT) levels have been demonstrated in insulin-resistant states such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), conditions that are directly correlated to hypertension. We examined whether hyperinsulinemia or hyperglycemia may modulate fat and liver AGT gen expres...

Zusammenfassung:Elevated plasma angiotensinogen (AGT) levels have been demonstrated in insulin-resistant states such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), conditions that are directly correlated to hypertension. We examined whether hyperinsulinemia or hyperglycemia may modulate fat and liver AGT gen expression and whether obesity and insulin resistance are associated with abnormal AGT regulation.
