The aim of this review was to analyze the role of Ang II in the different biochemical pathways that could be involved in the development of cardiovascular damage during diabetes. We performed an exhaustive review in the main databases, using the following terms: angiotensin II, cardiovascular damage, renin angiotensin system, inflammation, and diabetes mellitus. Classically, the RAS has been defined as a complex system of enzymes, receptors, and peptides that help control the blood pressure and the fluid homeostasis.

There is no published study that has identified predictors of short-term changes in thyroid status amongst patients with mild elevation of TSH (4.5-10 mIU/L). <b>Subjects and Results.</b> A cohort study was conducted on patients with SCH detected through a general population screening program, who were followed for six months.
