Popis: P181 Objectives: Insulin attenuates angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced Cai2+ mobilization in insulin sensitive (IS) control subjects. Therefore we compared the interactions between Ang II and insulin on Cai2+ mobilization in skin fibroblasts from insulin resistant (IR) and insulin sensitive (IS) patients with essential hypertension (HT). Methods: Skin fibroblasts from 9 normotensives (NT) and 18 HT were cultured and used after 4 passages. Ca2+ was measured in monolayers of 24h serum-deprived cells using Fura-2 AM. mRNA expression of Gαi2 subunit was determined by RT-PCR using a 5 and 3 specific primers. Results: Resting and Ang II-stimulated (100nM) Cai2+ peak were higher in fibroblasts from HT than NT (76±3 vs 62±3 nM, p
