Figure 1 Mechanisms of angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor in diabetes. Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor, a 1:1 combination of valsartan and sacubitril, reduces the damage due to diabetes mainly by reducing the degradation of natriuretic peptides and inhibiting the effect of Ang II and endothelin-1. ARNI: Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor; NEPi: Neprilysin inhibitor; ARB: Angiotensin receptor blocker; BNP: Brain natriuretic peptide; ANP: Atrial natriuretic peptide; CNP: C-type natriuretic peptide; DPP-4: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4; GLP-1: Glucagon-like peptide 1.
