losartan and Diabetic Retinopathy

losartan has been researched along with Diabetic Retinopathy in 14 studies

Losartan: An antagonist of ANGIOTENSIN TYPE 1 RECEPTOR with antihypertensive activity due to the reduced pressor effect of ANGIOTENSIN II.
losartan : A biphenylyltetrazole where a 1,1'-biphenyl group is attached at the 5-position and has an additional trisubstituted imidazol-1-ylmethyl group at the 4'-position

Diabetic Retinopathy: Disease of the RETINA as a complication of DIABETES MELLITUS. It is characterized by the progressive microvascular complications, such as ANEURYSM, interretinal EDEMA, and intraocular PATHOLOGIC NEOVASCULARIZATION.

" This investigation sought to determine whether hypertension exacerbates the oxidative stress, neurodegeneration, and mitochondrial dysfunction that exists in diabetic retinopathy and whether these changes could be minimized by the angiotensin II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor blocker (ARB) losartan."3.75Diabetic retinal neurodegeneration is associated with mitochondrial oxidative stress and is improved by an angiotensin receptor blocker in a model combining hypertension and diabetes.

"The treatment with losartan ameliorated all of the above alterations."1.36Reduction of inducible nitric oxide synthase via angiotensin receptor blocker prevents the oxidative retinal damage in diabetic hypertensive rats. ( de Faria, JB; de Faria, JM; Rosales, MA; Silva, KC, 2010)
"Hypertension is an important risk factor associated with development and progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR)."1.34Prevention of hypertension abrogates early inflammatory events in the retina of diabetic hypertensive rats.
