Popis: The aim of this study was to ascertain whether the presence of hypertension conveys a more severe degree of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus and, if so, which biochemical pathways are involved. We quantitated the rates of total glucose disposal, glycogen synthesis (GS), glycolysis, glucose oxidation, endogenous glucose production, and LOX in the basal state and during a 4-h euglycemic (∼5 mm) hyperinsulinemic (∼300 pm) clamp carried out in combination with a dual-tracer infusion ([3H]-3- and [14C]-U-d-glucose) and indirect calorimetry in 42 nonobese noninsulin-treated type 2 diabetic subjects (22 hypertensive and 20 normotensive) and 23 nonobese nondiabetic subjects (9 without and 14 with essential hypertension). Compared with normotensive controls, both groups of diabetic subjects were markedly insulin resistant. In the basal state, all glucose fluxes were similar in diabetic subjects with or without hypertension. During insulin infusion, total glucose disposal was significantly reduced in ...
