PC reduced obesity and renal changes (basophilic tubules that expressed MR and p22phox) but did not affect blood glucose tolerance and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) in HFD-fed rats.
Improved endothelial function in obese+ HAART+Saroglitazar group was associated with upregulation of eNOS, PKB/Akt and downregulated p22-phox expression vs. obese+HAART group.
In addition, multiple and logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the CYBAC242T polymorphism was associated with glucose levels, waist circumference, obesity and diabetes mellitus in hypertensive patients independently of potential confounders.
