Body weight is reduced by telmisartan (T), but not by amlodipine (A) or the combination telmisartan + amlodipine (T + A). A: Time-dependent increase in body weight. The dotted line indicates the beginning of drug treatment. B: gain in bw within the 17-week period of drug treatment. C: Typical magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) images obtained by transverse T1-weighted turbo spin-echo MRT. D: The abundance of visceral (open bars) and subcutaneous (closed bars) fat deposits was quantified by computer-assisted planimetry. Means ± SEM, n = 11–12. *P < 0.05 versus C_CD.
