Antihypertensive effects of vanadium compounds in hyperinsulinemic, hypertensive rats.

Abstract:

:Although considerable evidence lends credence to the association between insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia and essential hypertension, the precise nature of this relationship remains unexplained. In the present investigation, we examined the proposition that these metabolic defects contribute causally to the development of high blood pressure. If these metabolic abnormalities were responsible for the development of hypertension, then drug interventions that improve these defects should also decrease high blood pressure. Since previous studies have demonstrated that vanadium compounds enhance insulin action and lower plasma insulin levels in nondiabetic rats, we examined the effects of these compounds on insulin sensitivity, plasma insulin concentration and blood pressure in two hyperinsulinemic models of experimental hypertension. The animal models studied were the genetically predisposed spontaneously hypertensive rat and the fructose-hypertensive rat, where hypertension is induced in normotensive rats by feeding them a high fructose diet. Vanadium compounds caused marked and sustained decreases in plasma insulin concentration and blood pressure in both the animal models studied. Furthermore, the effect of the drugs on blood pressure was reversed by restoring plasma insulin levels in the drug-treated rats to those observed in their untreated counterparts. These data suggest that either hyperinsulinemia contributes to the development of hypertension in both the spontaneously hypertensive and the fructose-hypertensive rats or that the underlying mechanism is closely related to the expression of both these disorders.
