Insulin as a potential factor influencing blood pressure in amputees.

Abstract: SUMMARY War-injured, bilateral above-knee amputees are known to be at increased risk for cardiovascular mortality. To evaluate possible risk factors, we compared blood pressures and plasma glucose and insulin responses to orally administered glucose in 19 above-knee amputees from the Vietnam War (mean age, 36 ± 1 years) with those of 12 age-matched unilateral below-elbow amputees. Body composition by densitometry and maximal oxygen consumption during arm or leg exercise were also determined. Nine of 19 leg amp… Show more

“…Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were adjusted for age and sex by use of the standard deviation score (Z)_ calculated according to the formula: Z = (X-X)/SD, where X = measured blood pressure; X = mean of the expected blood pressure for age and sex (data from second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [NHANES II]), 8 and SD = standard deviation of the expected blood pressure for age and sex. Linear regression analyses were performed before the weight loss programs using Z score systolic and diastolic blood pressures as the dependent variables, with fasting insulin, fasting glucose, sum of the insulins during an oral glucose tolerance test, 24-hour urinary sodium excretion, body weight, and percentage of fat as independent variables.…”

“…Rowe et al 5 have also observed that euglycemic hyperinsulinemia acutely increases blood pressure, heart rate, and pulse pressure in normal subjects. More recently, Lucus et al, 6 Manicardi et al , 7 and Rose et al 8 have demonstrated a significant relationship between serum insulin activity and blood pressure in obesity.…”

“…While chronic hyperinsulinemia is thought to contribute to hypertension through several mechanisms including abnormal renal sodium han-dling (4,7,8), increased sympathetic nerve activity (8)(9)(10), and vascular reactivity (7), the acute action of insulin is vasodilatory as shown both in vivo ( 1 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], and in isolated vascular tissue ( 15,16).…”
