Diabetes Care, 03/05/07
Gunvor Ahlborg, MD, PHD., et al. – Endothelin (ET)-1 is a vasoconstrictor and proinflammatory peptide that may inhibit glucose uptake. The objective of the study was to investigate if ET (selective ETA and dual ETA+ETB) receptor blockade improves insulin sensitivity in patients with insulin resistance and coronary artery disease...Conclusion: Dual ETA+ETB receptor blockade acutely enhances insulin sensitivity in patients with insulin resistance and coronary artery disease, indicating an important role for endogenous ET-1
