Popis: Insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta-cell function are primary determinants of glucose tolerance. Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with increased risk for glucose intolerance. However, its effects on insulin sensitivity and β-cell function have shown mixed results. In this study, we compared indices of insulin sensitivity and pancreatic β-cell function derived from an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in patients from two cohorts: subjects with PA (n=25) and essential hypertension control (EHC) subjects. The EHC controls (n=25) were similar in age and BMI range, gender composition (female, n=14), and number of subjects with type 2 diabetes (n=3). Group comparisons were performed after adjusting for age, sex, and BMI; data is presented as unadjusted mean ± SD. As expected, the PA group show lower potassium concentrations compared to the EHC group, as well as elevated aldosterone and reduced renin levels. Mean arterial pressure was not significantly different between the groups (PA:100.6 ± 11.7, EHC: 96.7 ± 15.5 mm Hg, p=0.22). The area under the curve (AUC) for insulin during an OGTT, but not glucose, was higher in the PA group (insulin AUC: 14831 ± 9545 vs. 8582 ± 4948, μU/mL∙min, p
