Quantitative measurement of full-length and C-terminal proteolyzed RBP4 in serum of normal and insulin-resistant humans using a novel mass spectrometry immunoassay.

abstract：:Previous studies have shown that aldosterone plus salt loading cause cardiac hypertrophy in rats in vivo, and that in vitro, both aldosterone and glucose stimulate fibroblast growth.
