title: Insulin resistance and blood pressure.
abstract: Insulin resistance, cardiometabolic syndrome, and hypertension are common health problems with significant consequences for individuals and society. The pathogenesis of these disorders is complex and not fully understood. In this article we review the current knowledge about the effects of lifestyle modification and pharmacologic antihypertensive agents on insulin resistance and hypertension.
