Popis: To study the relationships between blood pressure, insulin secretion and insulin resistance in obese female subjects.Evaluation of insulin-secretion and resistance respectively by blood C-peptide determination and glucose clamp technique in nonhypertensive and hypertensive obese female subjects.Outpatient clinic of University Hospital.12 female obese subjects, six of whom were nonhypertensive, and six hypertensive; and nine nonobese nonhypertensive subjects as control.Baseline and during OGTT blood C-peptide as insulin secretion index; M, MCR and M/I ratio evaluated by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp as expression of insulin resistance.No difference is shown in C-peptide levels, between the two groups of obese subjects; the M, MCR and M/I values are significantly lower in hypertensive obese vs nonhypertensive obese subjects and controls (P0.001). Considering all the subjects, the same parameters are significantly inversely correlated with mean blood pressure values (P0.001).In the groups of considered obese subjects, homogeneous for age, sex, body weight excess, fat distribution and glucose tolerance, blood pressure values are directly related to insulin resistance but not to insulin secretion.
