[Levels of insulin in serum during fasting and circadian blood pressure profile in young health men].
In order to investigate the relation of ambulatory blood pressure values to fasting plasma insulin, non-invasive 24-hour blood pressure monitoring was performed in 32 young normotensive males. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were averaged for awake and asleep periods. Fasting plasma insulin levels correlated significantly with both asleep (r = 0.61; p < 0.001) and awake systolic blood pressures (r = 0.44; p < 0.02) but not with casual systolic blood pressure (r = 0.27). There were no significant associations of awake, asleep and causal diastolic blood pressures values with fasting plasma insulin levels (r = 0.15, 0.05 and 0.21, respectively). These results support the hypothesis that insulin may be a physiological determinant of blood pressure.
