Abstrakt: Oral glucose tolerance and the plasma immunoreactive insulin response to oral glucose were measured in 42 elderly hypertensive patients. Twenty-four of these patients showed abnormal glucose tolerance curves and 18 had normal curves. Patients with abnormal glucose tolerance showed significantly lower plasma immunoreactive insulin concentrations at 30 min and 60 min after the glucose load compared with patients with normal glucose tolerance. The patients in the two groups did not appear to differ in any other clinical or biochemical characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
