Insulin sensitivity, sodium-lithium countertransport and platelet free calcium concentrations in normotensive men with a family history of hypertension

Abstract: Peripheral glucose disposal (assessed with the euglycaemic-hyperinsulinaemic clamp technique), Na؉ -Li ؉ countertransport in erythrocytes and the cytosolic free Ca 2+ concentration in platelets were determined in 36 men from families with essential hypertension in at least two close relatives and in 28 age-and weight-matched men from families without hypertension. All had diastolic blood pressure consistently below 90 mm Hg and a normal oral glucose tolerance test. The mean age of the study population as a who… Show more

“…This is in agreement with the observation that SLC was associated with peripheral insulin resistance in hypertensive men and women 25. Although this was not confirmed by other authors,30 glucose disposal in our study did not significantly correlate with SLC in both OHP and C. Unfortunately, the studies mentioned above did not investigate correlations between glucose disposal and other types of RBC ion transport because they were aimed at SLC only. The altered membrane lipid composition with resulting changes in membrane microviscosity might be the common factor underlying abnormal transmembrane cationic transport in hypertension31 and diabetes 32.…”

“…This relationship has been described as being absent in other normotensive populations. 16,19 One previous study has examined SLC kinetics in patients (12 male, 36 female; average age 54.5 years) with familial hypercholesterolaemia. 20 In contrast to our study it included patients with a significantly increased systolic and diastolic blood pressures (systolic blood pressure = 146 ± 21 mm Hg; diastolic blood pressure = 88 ± 16 mm Hg) compared to controls.…”
