Of the agents available to control the complications of

inhibitors, have a pre-eminent place. Experimental and

,epidemiological data suggest that activation of the renin-
angiotensin-aldosterone system plays an important role in
increasing in the micro- and macrovascular complications in
patients with diabetes mellitus. Not only are ACE inhibitors
potent antihypertensive agents but there is a growing body of
data indicating that also they have a specific 'organ-protective'
effect. For the same degree of blood pressure control,
compared with other antihypertensive agents, ACE inhibitors
demonstrate function and tissue protection of considered
organs. ACE inhibitors have been reported to improve kidney,
heart, and to a lesser extent, eye and peripheral nerve
function of patients with diabetes mellitus. These favorable
effects are the result of inhibition of bo - ANSWER >>>>
