Effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition on endothelial function and insulin sensitivity in hypertensive patients
Introduction Evidence suggests an association between insulin resistance, hypertension and impaired endothelial function. Studies have shown that insulin resistance precedes the development of hypertension. By improving insulin sensitivity, it may be possible to improve hypertension and the subseque...
