Abstract
The results of this study provide new insight regarding the mechanisms by which a pro-hypertensive and pro-inflammatory system, such as RAS, downregulates another anti-hypertensive and anti-inflammatory system such as RDS. Additionally, we propose the use of l-dopa/dopamine index as a biochemical marker of renal dysfunction in conditions characterized by sodium retention, IR and/or hypertension, and as a predictor of response to treatment and follow-up of these processes.
