Role of AT1-receptor Blockers in Insulin-induced Vasodilation.

NCT00742066

RandomizedCrossoverDouble-blindBasic science

Summary

In this study we hypothesize that blocking the angiotensin II AT1-receptor improves the insulin-induced microvascular dilatation. Objectives: 1. Does blockade of the angiotensin II AT1-receptor improve the insulin-induced microvascular effects in hypertensive patients. 2. Does blockade of the angiotensin II AT1-receptor impair the insulin-induced microvascular effects in normotensive control subjects?
