Suppression of insulin-induced sympathetic activation and vasodilation by dexamethasone in humans.
Abstract
Background Physiological hyperinsulinemia in lean human subjects stimulates sympathetic nerve activity and blood flow in skeletal muscle, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Potential mechanisms include central neural or peripheral actions of insulin. Glucocorticoids may potentially interfere with both such actions and thereby may attenuate sympathoexcitatory and vasodilatory effects of insulin in skeletal muscle. Methods and results To determine whether insulin-induced sympathetic activation and vasodilation are attenuated by dexamethasone, we measured muscle sympathetic nerve activity and muscle blood flow during euglycemic hyperinsulinemia before and after short-term administration of this pharmacological agent. Insulin concentrations, which normally doubled sympathetic activity and markedly increased blood flow, had no such stimulatory effect after short-term dexamethasone administration. In contrast, responses to two noninsulin sympathetic stimuli, the Valsalva maneuver and immersion of the hand in ice water, and the vasodilatory response to calf vascular occlusion were not altered by dexamethasone. Conclusions These results demonstrate a dramatic impairment of insulin-induced sympathetic activation and vasodilation by dexamethasone in lean, healthy humans. This study suggests that dexamethasone administration to lean subjects may offer an experimental model to examine underlying mechanisms that regulate the interplay between cardiovascular, sympathetic, and metabol…

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.
