Angiotensin II receptor blocker losartan exacerbates muscle damage and exhibits weak blood pressure-lowering activity in a dysferlin-null model of Limb-Girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B

There is no cure or beneficial management option for Limb-Girdle muscular dystrophy (MD) type 2B (LGMD2B). Losartan, a blood pressure (BP) lowering angiotensin II (AngII) receptor type 1 (ATR1) blocker (ARB) with unique anti-transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) properties, can protect muscles in var...
