Abstract：
:This study evaluated insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity before and after short-term oral administration of doxazosin in patients with essential hypertension. The hypertensive group consisted of 11 nonobese subjects (aged 41.0 +/- 2.5 years (mean +/- SEM), body mass index 24.0 +/- 0.53 kg/m2). The normotensive group consisted of 12 subjects matched to the hypertensive group for age and body mass index. The hypertensive group showed significantly higher concentrations of prestimulated and stimulated plasma insulin and plasma C peptide than normal groups. The insulin-mediated glucose disposal rate during euglycaemic clamp (M-value) was significantly lower in the hypertensive group than in normal controls (7.32 +/- 0.56 vs 8.88 +/- 0.34 mg/kg/min, P < 0.05). After one month of doxazosin treatment blood pressure was significantly reduced (P < 0.05). The short-term administration of doxazosin improved the M-value significantly to 8.60 +/- 0.62 mg/kg/min without a significant change in stimulated plasma C-peptide level. These data show that hypertension is associated with increased insulin secretion and impaired insulin sensitivity. Selective alpha 1-adrenergic inhibition with doxazosin improves the decreased glucose disposal rate associated with hypertension.
