Popis: Thevascularactionsofinsulinarecomplex,becauseitcanstimulatebothnitricoxide-mediated dilatation and endothelin (ET)-1-mediated constriction. We examined vasoreactivity to insulin in isolated feed arteries of the gastrocnemius (GFA) and soleus muscles (SFA) of 32-week-old Long‐EvansTokushimaOtsuka(LETO)andOtsukaLong‐EvansTokushimafatty(OLETF)rats, ahyperphagicrodentmodelofobesityandinsulinresistance.Theinsulin-inducedvasoreactivity of SFA and GFA was similar in LETO (healthy) and OLETF (obese/insulin-resistant) rats. However, examination of between-vessel effects revealed a number of novel insights into the heterogeneous vascular effects of insulin. Soleus feed arteries dilated more than GFA in LETO at 100 and 1000 μIU ml −1 insulin (23 versus 6a nd 28versus 0%, respectively; P
