Does acute angiotensin II receptor blockade improve insulin-induced microvascular function in hypertensive individuals?
Acute ARB administration increases insulin-induced microvascular perfusion in mildly hypertensive individuals; this beneficial effect on microvascular perfusion was however not associated with increased insulin-mediated glucose uptake.
Ileal mucosal metabolic fluxes measured in vitro are altered by changing luminal ecology in vivo. These changes may affect the health and mucosal integrity of ileum used to construct these reservoirs.
