Arterial stiffness in insulin resistance: The role of nitric oxide and angiotensin II receptors

, &
Pages 73-78 | Published online: 28 Dec 2022

Figures & data

Figure 1 Changes in responsiveness in small to medium sized artery compliance in patients with early insulin resistance syndrome. There is increased responsiveness to angiotensin II (AT2) mediated by both AT1 and AT2 receptors producing decreased and increased compliance respectively. There is also increased basal nitric oxide activity producing an increase in compliance when measured as the reduction in compliance to nitric oxide synthase inhibition.
