Insulin sensitivity with respect to glucose metabolism in hypertension-prone men did not predict the blood pressure increase in 5 years

Abstract: Objectives: To evaluate peripheral insulin stimulated glucose uptake as a predictor for increase in blood pressure in hypertension-prone men. Design: A follow-up study 5 years after a primary investigation that included an euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp to evaluate insulin sensitivity. Subjects: Thirty-two men with a family history of hypertension (relatives) and 22 men with no hypertension in the family (controls). All were normotensive and had a normal glucose tolerance. Main outcome measures: Change in… Show more

“…Only 2 previous investigations into the longitudinal relationship between insulin sensitivity and BP in adults have incorporated direct measures of insulin sensitivity, 20,29 and only 1 investigation used the euglycemic clamp. One of these studies was relatively small (n=54) and in men only: no effect was demonstrated.…”

“…One of these studies was relatively small (n=54) and in men only: no effect was demonstrated. 29 The other used a modified frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test in a triethnic population (n=840) and reported a modest protective association of insulin sensitivity on the risk of hypertension. 20 Other longitudinal studies reporting a relationship between insulin sensitivity and BP [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] have been based on surrogate measures of insulin resistance, including either fasting insulin [10][11][12][13][14][15]17,21,22 or fasting insulin and glucose concentrations (HOMA).…”
