-  * **inhibit liver fibrosis and aid liver healing** – Olmesartan medoxomil was given to fibrotic rats. Liver hydroxyproline content, the mRNA expression of collagen alpha1(I) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA), and plasma levels of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) were significantly reduced by olmesartan treatment, suggesting that olmesartan improved liver fibrosis.(({{pubmed>long:12871826}})) A second study came to similar conclusion.(({{pubmed>long:19303015}})) +  * **inhibit liver fibrosis and aid liver healing** – Olmesartan medoxomil was given to fibrotic rats.
