Blood pressure is not affected by treatment with Alagebrium.? In diabetic RAGE apoE double-KO mice, treatment with Alagebrium is associated with a modest reduction in renal mass and reduces hyperfiltration compare with nontreated mice. Treatment with Alagebrium in diabetic RAGE apoE double-KO mice is associated with a further reduction in glomerular collagen IV levels, approaching levels observed in control mice^[1]. Body weight, heart rate (HR), and mean blood pressure (BP) are similar in Zucker lean (ZL), obese (ZO), and diabetic (ZD) groups in the absence or presence of Alagebrium (ALT-711). Alagebrium increases blood flow (BF) in ZO rats but reduces distal vascular resistance in ZD rats. A decrease in neointimal hyperplasia (NH) intrastrut thickness as a function of local radius is found in all groups with Alagebrium treatment.? A significant increase in TGF-β expression is also found in the AAo of ZL rats treated with Alagebrium^[2].
