Inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system reportedly exerts potent antiatherogenic effects by reducing vascular inflammation. We tested the hypothesis that pioglitazone, a peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor γ agonist, further reduces vascular inflammation in patients receiving angiotensin II receptor blockers. Patients with hypertension who had developed type 2 diabetes mellitus were randomly...
The effects of nifedipine on inflammation and endothelial function in the coronary circulation were studied in patients who had angina pectoris (n = 17). Long-term treatment with nifedipine (nifedipine CR, 20 mg/day for 4 months) decreased levels of C-reactive protein in the coronary sinus (from 0.35 ± 0.09 mg/dl to 0.07 ± 0.01 mg/dl, mean ± SEM, p <0.05) and enhanced acetylcholine-induced increases...
