Insulin responsiveness was studied in isolated adipocytes from the normotensive Wistar
Kyoto (WKY) rat and the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). The effect of insulin (0.1 to 5
nmol/L) on glucose uptake (glucose transport and lipogenesis) was measured, and the
maximal effect of insulin (Emax) and the dose of insulin required to elicit 50% of the maximal
response (EC50) were calculated. A diminished Emax on lipogenesis without changes in
the EC50 was detected in SHRs. The Emax was 0.49±0.09 (SHR) and 1.16±0.14 (WKY) …
Insulin responsiveness was studied in isolated adipocytes from the normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rat and the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). The effect of insulin (0.1 to 5 nmol/L) on glucose uptake (glucose transport and lipogenesis) was measured, and the maximal effect of insulin (Emax) and the dose of insulin required to elicit 50% of the maximal response (EC50) were calculated. A diminished Emax on lipogenesis without changes in the EC50 was detected in SHRs. The Emax was 0.49 ± 0.09 (SHR) and 1.16 ± 0.14 (WKY) μmol/105 cells (P < .05), and the EC50 was 0.13 ± 0.03 and 0.11 ± 0.02 nmol/L for WKY and SHR, respectively. Similar results were obtained when measuring insulin-stimulated glucose transport. A 30-day long-term treatment with enalapril (20 mg/kg/d) normalized insulin responsiveness in adipocytes from SHRs. The effect of enalapril was suppressed when SHRs were pretreated with enalapril and 150 μg/kg/d of the bradykinin (BK) B2-receptor blocker Hoe 140. Pretreatment with losartan (40 mg/kg/d) did not improve insulin action in the SHR. Since these results were obtained with isolated cells in which glucose availability was not a function of blood flow, and the effect of insulin in the SHR was improved by pretreatment with an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor but not with the AT1-receptor blocker, it appears that the insulin resistance linked to the hypertension is not related to changes in blood flow.
