[Hyperinsulinism as a major etiopathogenic link with arterial hypertension, hyperlipoproteinemia and hirsutism. II].
The authors analyze mechanism by which hyperinsulinism causes NIDDM, hypertension, hyperlipoproteinaemia and hirsutism (5H syndrome). They demonstrate on a group of their 100 patients with NIDDM and arterial hypertension that, as compared with matched pairs without arterial hypertension, they have significantly higher levels of C-peptide and less favourable parameters of dyslipoproteinaemia. Hirsutism occurs in 10-15% of the adult female population, but in 18.4% women with NIDDM. However, in a group of 48 hirsutic women with NIDDM they did not find, as compared with matched pairs (i.e. women with NIDDM of analogous age, BMI and BP) significantly higher C-peptide and lipid levels. According to the authors congenital insulin resistance modified by numerous endogenous and exogenous factors is eventually manifested in the phenotype, in particular via hyperinsulinism as NIDDM, hypertension, associated with dyslipoproteinaemia and obesity which then, as the main risk factors, condition a high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although hirsutism and the polycystic ovary syndrome are associated with hyperinsulinism, their interrelation is probably less close and thus has not such a negative impact on national health.
