Insulin resistance and hypertension

Sowers, James R.·2004·American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology

Abstract

Diminished insulin (Ins) sensitivity is a characteristic feature of various pathological conditions such as the cardiometabolic syndrome, Type 2 diabetes, and hypertension. Persons with essential hypertension are more prone than normotensive persons to develop diabetes, and this propensity may reflect decreased ability of Ins to promote relaxation and glucose transport in vascular and skeletal muscle tissue, respectively. There are increasing data suggesting that ANG II acting through its ANG type 1 receptor inhibits the actions of Ins in vascular and skeletal muscle tissue, in part, by interfering with Ins signally through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and its downstream protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathways. This inhibitory action of ANG II is mediated, in part, through stimulation of RhoA activity and oxidative stress. Activated RhoA and increased reactive oxygen species inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling results in decreased endothelial cell production of nitric oxide, increased myosin light chain activation with vasoconstriction, and reduced skeletal muscle glucose transport.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
