1 In in vitro experiments, losartan (1 x 10(-9) - 1 x 10(-5) M) significantly reduced TNF-alpha and TGF-beta1 levels in culture supernatants of KCs, but captopril (1 x 10(-5) M) did not. Losartan tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus
2 The results showed that losartan significantly inhibited the progression of hepatic fibrosis induced by CCl4, and the inhibitory effect of losartan on hepatic fibrosis might be associated with its ability to inhibit the production of TNF-alpha and TGF-beta1 by activated KCs. Losartan tumor necrosis factor Rattus norvegicus
