Abstract:
:Insulin resistance and hypertension, as well as dyslipidemia, frequently cooccur. Evidence that nitric oxide (NO) plays a crucial role in the long-term regulation of systolic blood pressure led us to examine whether enhanced vasoconstriction and hypertension induced by NO synthase inhibitor could lead to insulin and lipid disorders. NG-Nitro-L-arginine methyl-ester (L-NAME), an inhibitor of NO synthase, was given for 4 weeks in drinking water (100 mg/kg/day) to 12 Sprague-Dawley rats. Another nine rats received both L-NAME and verapamil (100 mg/kg/day), whereas 12 animals fed rat chow only served as controls. Systolic blood pressure was measured weekly by the indirect tail cuff method. Blood samples were taken at the beginning of the experiment, and after 2 and 4 weeks from all rats. The samples were assayed for insulin, glucose, and triglyceride concentrations. L-NAME treatment resulted in a marked and sustained increase in systolic blood pressure from 130+/-7 to 171+/-3 mm Hg by the second week, which was succeeded by a significant elevation in insulin level at the end of 4 weeks, from 2.3+/-1.8 to 5.4+/-2.0 ng/mL. Triglycerides and glucose were unaffected throughout the experiment. The combination of L-NAME and the NO-independent vasodilator, verapamil, attenuated the hypertension induced by L-NAME and prevented the following rise in insulin level. Data suggest that chronic elimination of NO after chronic inhibition of NO synthase may lead to a state of hyperinsulinemia, possibly as an outcome of insulin resistance.
