In three studies, there were only follow-up data available for the intervention condition since it was considered unethical to withhold treatment from the WL/TAU group.
Adipose tissue is a logical target for pharmacological intervention, since it is now recognized to exert an important endocrine function, secreting a variety of adipokines affecting, for example, adiposity and insulin resistance.
The HCV encoded viroporin p7 is an attractive target for therapeutic intervention since it is essential for viral assembly and egress (Tedbury et al., 2011; Wozniak et al., 2010).
Percutaneous endovascular treatment with renal artery stenting is quite appealing and appears more likely to supplant surgical intervention since it is a less invasive and a safer treatment [ 2, 15, 28, 32, 33].
