Hypertension in diabetes: the role of the vasculature.
This review is focused on the interplay between two major factors affecting the vascular tree in diabetes, insulin resistance, and hyperglycemia. The implications for vascular function, structure, and the interaction between vascular cells and other tissues by which they are affected under these conditions are reviewed.
