چکیده
AIMS Microvascular dysfunction occurs in Type 2 diabetes and in subjects with fasting hyperglycaemia. It is unclear whether this dysfunction relates to dysglycaemia. This study investigated in normogylcaemic individuals whether a genetic predisposition to diabetes, or indices of insulin resistance including endothelial markers, were associated with impaired microvascular function. METHODS Maximum microvascular hyperaemia to local heating of the skin was measured using laser Doppler flowmetry in 21 normoglycaemic subjects with no family history of diabetes (Group 1) and 21 normoglycaemic age, sex and body mass index-matched offspring of two parents with Type 2 diabetes (Group 2). RESULTS Although Group 2 had normal fasting plasma glucose and glucose tolerance tests, the 120-min glucose values were significantly higher at 6.4 (5.3-6.6) mmol/l (median (25th - 75th centile)) than the control group at 4.9 (4.6-5.9) mmol/l (P = 0.005) and the insulinogenic index was lower at 97.1 (60.9-130.8) vs. 124.0 (97.2-177.7) (P = 0.027). Skin maximum microvascular hyperaemia (Group 1: 1.56 (1.39-1.80) vs. Group 2: 1.53 (1.30-1.98) V, P = 0.99) and minimum microvascular resistance which normalizes the hyperaemia data for blood pressure (Group 1: 52.0 (43.2-67.4) vs. Group 2: 56.0 (43.7-69.6) mmHg/V, P = 0.70) did not differ in the two groups. Significant positive associations occurred between minimum microvascular resistance and indices of the insulin resistance syndrome; plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (R(s) = 0.46, P = 0.003), t-PA (R(s) = 0.36, P = 0.03), total cholesterol (R(s) = 0.35, P = 0.02), and triglyceride concentration (R(s) = 0.35, P = 0.02), and an inverse association with insulin sensitivity (R(s) = -0.33, P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS In normoglycaemic adults cutaneous microvascular vasodilatory capacity is associated with features of insulin resistance syndrome, particularly with plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1. A strong family history of Type 2 diabetes alone does not result in impairment in the maximum hyperaemic response. Diabet. Med. 18, 541-545 (2001)

متن کاملInvestigation on the vasodilatory effect of insulin through KATP channels and NO pathway in the skin vessels of native and diabetic rats
Introduction: Endothelium and smooth muscle dysfunction are the most important complications of diabetes. In type 1 diabetic patients, absence of insulin leads to vasoconstriction and lower skin blood perfusion. Release of some mediators by endothelium which is induced by insulin causes vasodilation, but the exact mechanism of insulin vasodilatory effect is not detected properly. At present st...

متن کاملImpaired microvascular vasodilatory function in 3-month-old infants of low birth weight.
OBJECTIVE Low birth weight has been linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in adult life. The fetal insulin hypothesis proposed that a genetic predisposition to insulin resistance may also influence vascular development. Therefore, impaired vascular function may be an intrinsic abnormality in low-birth weight infants that antedates clinical features of the ins...
