Skeletal muscle atrophy
downin mice1
Azilsartan decreases skeletal muscle atrophy in mice.
“Ang II induced skeletal muscle dysfunction and atrophy, characterized by reduced exercise capacity, decreased grip strength, and muscle fiber loss, were attenuated by AZL treatment.”

Appendicular skeletal muscle mass
upin humans1
Azilsartan is associated with appendicular skeletal muscle mass in humans.
“AZL treatment was associated with significant improvements in handgrip strength, gait speed, and appendicular skeletal muscle mass in older hypertensive patients.”
