In most, but not all, studies antihypertensive treatment with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) improves insulin sensitivity, whereas beta-blockers decrease insulin sensitivity. However, there was a significant increase in body weight with beta-blockers and changes in the body potassium homeostasis with ACE inhibitors. In order to compare the drug specific metabolic effects of an ACE inhibitor and a cardioselective beta-blocker controlling these factors, we measured insulin sensitivity in a randomized, double-blind cross-over study in 22 healthy volunteers (age 27 +/- 3 years; BMI 22.0 +/- 1.5 kg m-2 (mean +/- SD)) during euglycaemic glucose clamps before and after 4 weeks' administration of 5 mg Lisinopril or 5 mg Bisoprolol. Both drug phases were separated by 4 weeks of no drug administration. During the insulin sensitivity measurements potassium concentrations were clamped at basal levels by means of a variable i.v. potassium infusion. Body weight was monitored at weekly intervals and kept constant within +/- 1 kg of the subjects' baseline weight throughout the entire study period. Insulin sensitivity did not change significantly during either drug administration period. The insulin sensitivity index of the 22 volunteers after administration of the ACE inhibitor was 7.9 +/- 2.4 mL min-1 m2 microU-1 mL-1 (basal index 8.3 +/- 1.9 mL min-1 m2 microU-1 mL-1, and 7.5 +/- 2.1 mL min-1 m2 microU-1 mL-1 after administration of the beta-blocker (basal index 8.2 +/- 1.9 mL min-1 m2 microU-1 mL-1; NS).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
