The Relationship Between the Plasma Concentrations of Renin and Angiotensin with Total Exchangeable Sodium in Hypertension
That the renin-angiotensin system is involved in the pathogenesis of clinical hypertension, at least in some cases, is suggested particularly by studies of the type illustrated in Fig. 1. The data shown in thi...

The anti-diabetogenic effect of essential fatty acid deficiency in multiple low-dose streptozotocin-treated mice persists if essential fatty acid repletion occurs outside of a brief window of susceptibility
We have previously shown that essential fatty acid deficiency prevents diabetes mellitus and ameliorates insulitis in multiple low-dose streptozotocin-treated male CD-1 mice and that repletion with 99% pure me...
