Valsartan improves adipose tissue function in humans with impaired glucose metabolism: a randomized placebo-controlled double-blind trial.

Valsartan improves adipose tissue function in humans with impaired glucose metabolism: a randomized placebo-controlled double-blind trial.

BACKGROUND: Blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) reduces the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
