Figure 4From: Skeletal muscle insulin resistance in salt-sensitive hypertension: role of angiotensin II activation of NFκBEffects of ARB, tempol or pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) on glucose infusion rate (determined by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp) in DS rat. Glucose infusion rate to maintain plasma glucose at 5.5 mmol/l during insulin-infusion period was significantly reduced in hypertensive DS rat, and significantly improved by the treatment of either ARB, tempol or PDTC treatment. *p < 0.05 vs. NS, #p < 0.05 vs. HS; N = 6-7.Back to article page
