Captopril enhances insulin responsiveness of forearm muscle tissue in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A hyaluronan-loading test has been developed for assessment of hyaluronan kinetics and applied in patients with liver and joint diseases. This test describes the metabolic process of hyaluronan but cannot define the specific contribution of different organs. A method for labelling of hyaluronan with the shor...
