Dissociation of sympathoexcitatory and vasodilator actions of modestly elevated plasma insulin levels

Abstract

To determine sympathetic and vascular responses to modest increases in plasma insulin level. Most studies of sympathetic and vascular actions of insulin have evaluated high plasma insulin levels ( > 50 microU/ml). Those levels increase sympathetic nerve activity but also cause vasodilation. Hypertension and obesity are associated with only modestly elevated fasting insulin levels. We investigated the effects of a 90 min low-dose hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp on muscle sympathetic nerve activity (microneurography), forearm vascular resistance (plethysmography), heart rate, blood pressure and central venous pressure. Insulin and vehicle sessions were performed in 12 normal subjects. Plasma insulin levels were elevated from values of 10 +/- 2 in the fasting state to 25 +/- 3 microU/ml during insulin infusion. Insulin levels did not change during vehicle administration. Muscle sympathetic nerve activity increased from 16 +/- 2 to 25 +/- 3 burst/min during the insulin session and did not change during vehicle administration. In contrast to muscle sympathetic nerve activity, forearm vascular resistance did not change during insulin administration (from 50 +/- 3 to 51 +/- 4 U). Forearm vascular resistance tended to fall during veh...Continue Reading

Antihypertensive Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Antihypertensive drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which aims to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Discover the latest research on antihypertensive drugs and their mechanism of action here.
