Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a pathophysiological disorder that may involve multiple clinical conditions and may be associated with a variety of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. Pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease (PH-LHD) currently lacks targeted therapies, while Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), despite approved treatments, carries considerable residual risk. Metabolic dysfunction has been linked to the pathogenesis and prognosis of PH through various studies, with emerging metabolic agents offering a potential avenue for improving patient outcomes. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i), a novel hypoglycemic agent, could ameliorate metabolic dysfunction and exert cardioprotective effects. Recent small-scale studies suggest SGLT-2i treatment may improve pulmonary artery pressure in patients with PH-LHD, and the PAH animal model shows that SGLT-2i can reduce pulmonary vascular remodeling and prevent progression in PAH, suggesting potential benefits for patients with PH-LHD and perhaps PAH. This review aims to succinctly review PH's pathophysiology, and the connection between metabolic dysfunction and PH, and investigate the prospective mechanisms of action of SGLT-2i in PH-LHD and PAH management.

Abstract
Glucose transporters are essential for the heart to sustain its function. Due to its nature as a high energy-consuming organ, the heart needs to catabolize a huge quantity of metabolic substrates. For optimized energy production, the healthy heart constantly switches between various metabolites in accordance with substrate availability and hormonal status. This metabolic flexibility is essential for the maintenance of cardiac function. Glucose is part of the main substrates catabolized by the heart and its use is fine-tuned via complex molecular mechanisms that include the regulation of the glucose transporters GLUTs, mainly GLUT4 and GLUT1. Besides GLUTs, glucose can also be transported by cotransporters of the sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) (SLC5 gene) family, in which SGLT1 and SMIT1 were shown to be expressed in the heart. This SGLT-mediated uptake does not seem to be directly linked to energy production but is rather associated with intracellular signalling triggering important processes such as the production of reactive oxygen species. Glucose transport is markedly affected in cardiac diseases such as cardiac hypertrophy, diabetic cardiomyopathy and heart failure. These alterations are not only fingerprints of these diseases but are involved in their onset and progression. The present review will depict the importance of glucose transport in healthy and diseased heart, as well as proposed therapies targeting glucose transporters.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease resulting in the destruction of insulin producing β-cells of the pancreas, with consequent insulin deficiency and excessive glucose production. Hyperglycemia results in increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS) with consequent oxidative/nitrosative stress and tissue damage. Oxidative damage of the pancreatic tissue may contribute to endothelial dysfunction associated with diabetes. The aim of the present study was to investigate if the potentially protective effects of phenethyl ester of caffeic acid (CAPE), a natural phenolic compound occurring in a variety of plants and derived from honeybee hive propolis, and of a novel CAPE analogue, as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inducers, could reduce pancreatic oxidative damage induced by excessive amount of glucose, affecting the nitric oxide synthase/dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (NOS/DDAH) pathway in streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic rats. Our data demonstrated that inducible nitric oxide synthase/gamma-Glutamyl-cysteine ligase (iNOS/GGCL) and DDAH dysregulation may play a key role in high glucose mediated oxidative stress, whereas HO-1 inducers such as CAPE or its more potent derivatives may be useful in diabetes and other stress-induced pathological conditions.

Abstract
The pancreatic islets are more richly vascularized than the exocrine pancreas, and possess a 5- to 10-fold higher basal and stimulated blood flow, which is separately regulated. This is reflected in the vascular anatomy of the pancreas where islets have separate arterioles. There is also an insulo-acinar portal system, where numerous venules connect each islet to the acinar capillaries. Both islets and acini possess strong metabolic regulation of their blood perfusion. Of particular importance, especially in the islets, is adenosine and ATP/ADP. Basal and stimulated blood flow is modified by local endothelial mediators, the nervous system as well as gastrointestinal hormones. Normally the responses to the nervous system, especially the parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves, are fairly similar in endocrine and exocrine parts. The islets seem to be more sensitive to the effects of endothelial mediators, especially nitric oxide, which is a permissive factor to maintain the high basal islet blood flow. The gastrointestinal hormones with pancreatic effects mainly influence the exocrine pancreatic blood flow, whereas islets are less affected. A notable exception is incretin hormones and adipokines, which preferentially affect islet vasculature. Islet hormones can influence both exocrine and endocrine blood vessels, and these complex effects are discussed. Secondary changes in pancreatic and islet blood flow occur during several conditions. To what extent changes in blood perfusion may affect the pathogenesis of pancreatic diseases is discussed. Both type 2 diabetes mellitus and acute pancreatitis are conditions where we think there is evidence that blood flow may contribute to disease manifestations. © 2019 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Diabetes is a global epidemic and a leading cause of death with more than 422 million patients worldwide out of whom around 392 million alone suffer from type 2 diabetes (T2D). Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are novel and effective drugs in managing glycemia of T2D patients. These inhibitors gained recent clinical and basic research attention due to their clinically observed cardiovascular protective effects. Although interest in the study of various SGLT isoforms and the effect of their inhibition on cardiovascular function extends over the past 20 years, an explanation of the effects observed clinically based on available experimental data is not forthcoming. The remarkable reduction in cardiovascular (CV) mortality (38%), major CV events (14%), hospitalization for heart failure (35%), and death from any cause (32%) observed over a period of 2.6 years in patients with T2D and high CV risk in the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial involving the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin (Empa) have raised the possibility that potential novel, more specific mechanisms of SGLT2 inhibition synergize with the known modest systemic improvements, such as glycemic, body weight, diuresis, and blood pressure control. Multiple studies investigated the direct impact of SGLT2i on the cardiovascular system with limited findings and the pathophysiological role of SGLTs in the heart. The direct impact of SGLT2i on cardiac homeostasis remains controversial, especially that SGLT1 isoform is the only form expressed in the capillaries and myocardium of human and rodent hearts. The direct impact of SGLT2i on the cardiovascular system along with potential lines of future research is summarized in this review.

Abstract
Inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT)2 are a new class of oral drugs for type 2 diabetic patients that reduce plasma glucose levels by inhibiting renal glucose reabsorption. There is increasing evidence showing the beneficial effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on glucose control; however, less information is available regarding the impact of SGLT2 inhibitors on cardiovascular outcomes. The present study was designed to determine whether SGLT inhibitors regulate vascular relaxation in mouse pulmonary and coronary arteries. Phlorizin (a nonspecific SGLT inhibitor) and canagliflozin (a SGLT2-specific inhibitor) relaxed pulmonary arteries in a dose-dependent manner, but they had little or no effect on coronary arteries. Pretreatment with phlorizin or canagliflozin significantly inhibited sodium nitroprusside (SNP; a nitric oxide donor)-induced vascular relaxation in pulmonary arteries but not in coronary arteries. Phlorizin had no effect on cGMP-dependent relaxation in pulmonary arteries. SNP induced membrane hyperpolarization in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, and pretreatment of cells with phlorizin and canagliflozin attenuated SNP-induced membrane hyperpolarization by decreasing K(+) activities induced by SNP. Contrary to the result observed in ex vivo experiments with SGLT inhibitors, SNP-dependent relaxation in pulmonary arteries was not altered by chronic administration of canagliflozin. On the other hand, canagliflozin administration significantly enhanced SNP-dependent relaxation in coronary arteries in diabetic mice. These data suggest that SGLT inhibitors differentially regulate vascular relaxation depending on the type of arteries, duration of the treatment, and health condition, such as diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS Since many type 2 diabetes patients experience postprandial hypotension, the aim of this study was to unravel meal-related changes in systemic hemodynamics and autonomic nervous system (ANS)-balance. METHODS Forty-two age-matched males (15 type 2 diabetes; 12 metabolic syndrome; 15 controls) without overt autonomic neuropathy received a standardized high-fat mixed meal after an overnight fast. Hemodynamic variables were measured by finger plethysmography. Fourier analysis was used to calculate the low-/high-frequency (LF/HF)-ratio, a marker of autonomic nervous system-balance, and baroreceptor reflex sensitivity (BRS). RESULTS Following the meal, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) decreased in type 2 diabetes patients only, paralleled by a significant decrement in systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and an increase in cardiac index. All groups showed an increase in postprandial heart rate. Controls, but not metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes patients, showed a meal-related increase in LF/HF-ratio. When combining all study subjects, homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was inversely correlated with changes in DBP, SVR, LF/HF-ratio and BRS. CONCLUSIONS Based on these data, we hypothesize that in patients with uncomplicated type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance hampers adequate meal-induced sympathetic activation, leading to a decrease in SVR and resulting in a postprandial drop in DBP.

Abstract
Aim.To assess the role of vasomotor dysfunction and impaired flowdependent vasodilatation as a risk factor of silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2).Material and methods.The study included 128 patients (66 men and 62 women; mean age 59,3±4,7 years), who underwent Holter ECG monitoring, stress test (Bruce protocol), echocardiography, vascular ultrasound, and brachial artery endothelium-dependent vasodilatation (EDVD) assessment.Results.Patients with coronary heart disease and DM-2 demonstrated reduced EDVD levels (3,7±1,1%) and highly prevalent SMI (93,3%). There was a correlation between EDVD and the number (r=–0,68; p<0,05) or duration of SMI episodes (r=–0,53; p<0,01).Conclusion.Patients with DM-2 require the assessment of vasomotor endothelial function in order to predict cardiovascular complications. Coronary artery endothelial dysfunction, which manifests in inadequate vasodilatation in response to increased myocardial demand for oxygen, plays an important role in the ischemia development and progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated arginase (Arg) activity is reported to be involved in diabetes-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction. It can reduce L-arginine availability to nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) and NO production. Akita mice, a genetic non-obese type 1 diabetes model, recapitulate human diabetes. We determined the role of Arg in a time-course of diabetes-associated endothelial dysfunction in aorta and corpora cavernosa (CC) from Akita mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Endothelium-dependent relaxation, Arg and NOS activity, and protein expression levels of Arg and constitutive NOS were assessed in aortas and CC from Akita and non-diabetic wild type (WT) mice at 4, 12 and 24 wks of age. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was assessed by tail cuff. In aorta and CC, Akita mice exhibited a progressive impairment of vascular endothelial and nitrergic function increased Arg activity and expression (Arg1 in aorta and both Arg1 and Arg2 in CC) compared with that of age-matched WT mice. Treatment of aorta and CC from Akita mice with an Arg inhibitor (BEC or ABH) reduced diabetes-induced elevation of Arg activity and restored endothelial and nitrergic function. Reduced levels of phospho-eNOS at Ser(1177) (in aorta and CC) and nNOS expression (in CC) were observed in Akita mice at 12 and 24 wks. Akita mice also had decreased NOS activity in aorta and CC at 12 and 24 wks that was restored by BEC treatment. Further, Akita mice exhibited moderately increased SBP at 24 wks and increased sensitivity to PE-induced contractions in aorta and sympathetic nerve stimulation in CC at 12 and 24 wks. CONCLUSIONS Over 24 wks of diabetes in Akita mice, both aortic and cavernosal tissues exhibited increased Arg activity/expression, contributing to impaired endothelial and nitrergic function and reduced NO production. Our findings demonstrate involvement of Arg activity in diabetes-induced impairment of vascular function in Akita mouse.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia and elevated free fatty acids (FFA) are implicated in the development of endothelial dysfunction. Infusion of soy-bean oil-based lipid emulsion (Intralipid®) increases FFA levels and results in elevation of blood pressure (BP) and endothelial dysfunction in obese healthy subjects. The effects of combined hyperglycemia and high FFA on BP, endothelial function and carbohydrate metabolism are not known. Twelve obese healthy subjects received four random, 8-h IV infusions of saline, Intralipid 40 mL/h, Dextrose 10% 40 mL/h, or combined Intralipid and dextrose. Plasma levels of FFA increased by 1.03±0.34 mmol/L (p=0.009) after Intralipid, but FFAs remained unchanged during saline, dextrose, and combined Intralipid and dextrose infusion. Plasma glucose and insulin concentrations significantly increased after dextrose and combined Intralipid and dextrose (all, p<0.05) and were not different from baseline during saline and lipid infusion. Intralipid increased systolic BP by 12±9 mmHg (p<0.001) and diastolic BP by 5±6 mmHg (p=0.022),and decreased flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) from baseline by 3.2%±1.4% (p<0.001). Saline and dextrose infusion had neutral effects on BP and FMD. The co-administration of lipid and dextrose decreased FMD by 2.4%±2.1% (p=0.002) from baseline, but did not significantly increase systolic or diastolic BP. Short-term Intralipid infusion significantly increased FFA and BP; in contrast, FFA and BP were unchanged during combined infusion of Intralipid and dextrose. Combined Intralipid and dextrose infusion resulted in endothelial dysfunction similar to Intralipid alone.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the acute and chronic effect of hyperglycemia on perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) function in rat aorta. METHOD Alterations in PVAT function in rat aorta incubated with 22 mmol/l D-glucose for 30 min and in aorta from streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats were studied. RESULTS Incubation with D-glucose caused an attenuation of contraction in response to phenylephrine, both in the presence and absence of endothelium, whereas removal of PVAT eliminated this attenuation effect. The presence of PVAT did not affect concentration-related relaxation response of the aorta to carbamylcholine in STZ rats. There was also no difference in the relaxation response of the aorta to carbamylcholine between STZ and control rats. The presence of PVAT, however, caused a higher attenuation of the concentration-dependent contraction to phenylephrine in aorta from STZ rats with intact endothelium as compared with that from control rats. Incubation of the aorta from control rats with Nomega-nitro-L-arginine or carboxy-2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetra-methyl-imidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide potentiated the contraction of the vessels to phenylephrine, and this potentiation effect was higher in the vessels from STZ rats than control rats when N-nitro-L-arginine was used. Removal of PVAT reduced this potentiation effect and eliminated the difference between the vessels from control and STZ rats. CONCLUSION Under both acute and chronic conditions, hyperglycemia enhanced the relaxation response of the vessels mediated by PVAT. These new findings provide important information on the mechanism underlying the postprandial effect of hyperglycemia on blood pressure control and the presence of hypotension under chronic hyperglycemia in a type-1 model of diabetes.

[PMID: 18350125 PMCID: PMC2266989 DOI: 10.1155/2008/672021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2007] [Accepted: 12/31/2007] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Background/aims. Postprandial hyperglycemia, an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is accompanied by endothelial dysfunction. We studied the effect of oral glucose load on insulin and glucose fluctuations, and on postprandial endothelial function in healthy individuals in order to better understand and cope with the postprandial state in insulin resistant individuals. Methods. We assessed post-oral glucose load endothelial function (flow mediated dilation), plasma insulin, and blood glucose in 9 healthy subjects. Results. The largest increases in delta FMD values (fasting FMD value subtracted from postprandial FMD value) occurred at 3 hours after both glucose or placebo load, respectively: 4.80 ± 1.41 (P = .009) and 2.34 ± 1.47 (P = .15). Glucose and insulin
concentrations achieved maximum peaks at one hour post-glucose load. Conclusion. Oral glucose load does not induce endothelial dysfunction in healthy individuals with mean insulin and glucose values of 5.6 mmol/L and 27.2 mmol/L, respectively, 2 hours after glucose load.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia increases glucose metabolism via the polyol pathway, which results in elevations of intracellular sorbitol concentration. Thus we hypothesized that elevated level of sorbitol contributes to the development of hyperglycemia-induced dysfunction of microvessels. In isolated, pressurized (80 mmHg) rat gracilis muscle arterioles (approximately 150 microm), high glucose treatment (25 mM) induced reduction in flow-dependent dilation (from maximum of 39 +/- 2% to 15 +/- 1%), which was significantly mitigated by an aldose reductase inhibitor, zopolrestat (maximum 27 +/- 2%). Increasing doses of sorbitol (10(-10)-10(-4) M) elicited dose-dependent constrictions (maximum 22 +/- 3%), which were abolished by endothelium removal, a prostaglandin H(2)/thromboxane A(2) (PGH(2)/TXA(2)) receptor (TP) antagonist SQ-29548, or superoxide dismutase (SOD) plus catalase (CAT). Incubation of arterioles with sorbitol (10(-7) M) reduced flow-dependent dilations (from maximum of 39 +/- 2% to 20 +/- 1.5%), which was not further affected by inhibition of nitric oxide synthase by N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester but was prevented by SOD plus CAT and mitigated by SQ-29548. Nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside-induced (10(-9)-10(-6) M) dilations were also decreased in a SQ-29548 and SOD plus CAT-reversible manner, whereas adenosine dilations were not affected by sorbitol exposure. Sorbitol significantly increased arterial superoxide production detected by lucigenin-enhanced chemiluminescence, which was inhibited by SOD plus CAT. Sorbitol treatment also increased arterial formation of 3-nitrotyrosine. We suggest that hyperglycemia by elevating intracellular sorbitol induces oxidative stress, which interferes with nitric oxide bioavailability and promotes PGH(2)/TXA(2) release, both of which affect regulation of vasomotor responses of arterioles. Thus increased activity of the polyol pathway may contribute to the development of microvascular dysfunction in diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that acute hyperglycaemia in hearts of rats without diabetes alters coronary vascular responses to nitric oxide (NO), adenosine (ADO) and phenylephrine (PHE). METHODS Coronary function was studied in isolated, Langendorff-perfused, non-beating rat hearts that were perfused with an oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 40 mM KCl to arrest the hearts. Changes in coronary vascular resistance were assessed by measuring changes in coronary perfusion pressure under constant flow conditions. Coronary responses to ADO, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), PHE and L-NAME (inhibitor of NO synthase) were studied either under normoglycaemic conditions (100 mg/dl d-glucose) or after 60 min of hyperglycaemic perfusion (500 mg/dl d-glucose). d-mannitol was used as a hyperosmotic control. RESULTS Hyperglycaemia did not alter vasodilator responses to ADO or SNP in the presence or absence of L-NAME. Furthermore, hyperglycaemia, compared with normoglycaemia, did not alter vasoconstrictor responses induced by L-NAME or PHE. CONCLUSIONS Sixty minutes of exposure to 500 mg/dl of d-glucose in an isolated, non-beating, buffer-perfused rat heart did not significantly affect coronary vascular smooth muscle vasodilator responses to NO and ADO or alter alpha(1)-adrenoceptor-mediated vasoconstrictor responses to PHE. Furthermore, an unchanged vasoconstrictor response to L-NAME suggests that acute hyperglycaemia did not alter NO bioavailability.

Abstract
L-Arginine transport and nitric oxide (NO) synthesis (L-arginine/NO pathway) are stimulated by insulin, adenosine or elevated extracellular D-glucose in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Adenosine uptake via the human equilibrative nucleoside transporters 1 (hENT1) and 2 (hENT2) has been proposed as a mechanism regulating adenosine plasma concentration, and therefore its vascular effects in human umbilical veins. Thus, altered expression and/or activity of hENT1 or hENT2 could lead to abnormal physiological plasma adenosine level. We have characterized insulin effect on adenosine transport in HUVEC cultured in normal (5 mM) or high (25 mM) D-glucose. Insulin (1 nM) increased overall adenosine transport associated with higher hENT2-, but lower hENT1-mediated transport in normal D-glucose. Insulin increased hENT2 protein abundance in normal or high D-glucose, but reduced hENT1 protein abundance in normal D-glucose. Insulin did not alter the reduced hENT1 protein abundance, but blocked the reduced hENT1 and hENT2 mRNA expression induced by high D-glucose. Insulin effect on hENT1 mRNA expression in normal D-glucose was blocked by N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, NO synthase inhibitor) and mimicked by S-nitroso-N-acetyl-L,D-penicillamine (SNAP, NO donor). L-NAME did not block insulin effect on hENT2 expression. In conclusion, insulin stimulation of overall adenosine transport results from increased hENT2 expression and activity via a NO-independent mechanism. These findings could be important in hyperglycemia-associated pathological pregnancies, such as gestational diabetes, where plasma adenosine removal by the endothelium is reduced, a condition that could alter the blood flow from the placenta to the fetus affecting fetus growth and development.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study retinal response in terms of arteriole diameter and retinal thickness secondary to an increase in arterial blood pressure during acute hyperglycaemia. METHODS In a randomized, double-blinded, cross-over study, nine healthy persons were subjected to clamping of blood glucose to either 5 mmol/l or 15 mmol/l using somatostatin to control endogenous insulin secretion. The response of retinal arterioles in terms of diameter as determined with the retinal vessel analyser (RVA) and retinal thickness as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) were measured after an increase in arterial blood pressure induced by isometric exercise. Arterial feeding pressure in the eye was assessed from the ophthalmic artery pressure and pulse amplitude measured by ophthalmodynamometry. RESULTS Isometric exercise induced a significant increase in mean arterial blood pressure and a significant contraction of the retinal arterioles. An acute increase in blood glucose from 5 mmol/l to 15 mmol/l did not affect either the diameter of retinal vessels or retinal thickness. CONCLUSIONS Acute hyperglycaemia per se does not change isometric exercise-induced retinal arteriolar contraction. Metabolic factors other than blood glucose are suspected to be involved in the impairment of retinal autoregulation as seen in hyperglycaemia induced by oral glucose intake.

Abstract
The myogenic response, the inherent ability of blood vessels to rapidly respond to changes in transmural pressure, is involved in local blood flow autoregulation. Animal studies suggest that both acute hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia may impair myogenic vasoconstriction. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an oral glucose load on brachial mean blood velocity (MBV) during increases in forearm transmural pressure in humans. Eight healthy men and women (38 +/- 5 yr) underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). MBV (in cm/s; Doppler ultrasound) responses to a rise in forearm transmural pressure (arm tank suction, -50 mmHg) were studied before and every 30 min for 120 min during the OGTT. Before the start of the OGTT, MBV was lower than baseline values 30 and 60 s after the application of negative pressure. This suggests that myogenic constriction was present. During the OGTT, blood glucose rose from 88 +/- 2 to 120 +/- 6 mg/dl (P < 0.05) and insulin rose from 14 +/- 1 to 101 +/- 32 microU/ml (P < 0.05). Glucose loading attenuated the reduction in MBV with arm suction (Delta-0.73 +/- 0.14 vs. Delta-1.67 +/- 0.43 cm/s and Delta-1.07 +/- 0.14 vs. Delta-2.38 +/- 0.54 cm/s, respectively, during 30 and 60 s of suction postglucose compared with preglucose values; all P < 0.05). We observed no such time effect for myogenic responses during a sham OGTT. In an additional 5 subjects, glucose loading had no effect on brachial diameters with the application of negative pressure. Oral glucose loading leads to attenuated myogenic vasoconstriction in healthy individuals. The role that this diminished postglucose reactivity plays in mediating postprandial hypotension and/or orthostasis needs to be further explored.

Abstract
Tight blood glucose control with insulin reduces morbidity and mortality of critically ill patients. However, the relative impact of maintaining normoglycemia and of glycemia-independent actions of insulin remains unknown. We therefore independently manipulated blood glucose and plasma insulin levels in burn-injured, parentally fed rabbits over 7 days to obtain four study groups: two normoglycemic groups with either normal or elevated insulin levels and two hyperglycemic groups with either normal or elevated insulin levels. We studied the relative impact of glycemia and glycemia-independent effects of insulin on survival; myocardial contractility in an open chest preparation; endothelial function in isolated aortic rings; and liver, kidney, and leukocyte function in a rabbit model of critical illness. Mortality was significantly lower in the two normoglycemic groups independent of insulin levels. Maintaining normoglycemia, independent of insulin levels, prevented endothelial dysfunction as well as liver and kidney injury. To increase myocardial systolic function, elevated insulin levels and prevention of hyperglycemia were required concomitantly. Leukocyte dysfunction was present in the two hyperglycemic groups, which could in part be rescued by insulin. The results suggest that the observed benefits of intensive insulin therapy required mainly maintenance of normoglycemia; whereas glycemia-independent actions of insulin exerted only minor, organ-specific impact.

Abstract
Twenty-five years ago, the discovery of endothelium-derived relaxing factor opened a door that revealed a new and exciting role for the endothelium in the regulation of blood flow and led to the discovery that nitric oxide (NO) multi-tasked as a novel cell-signalling molecule. During the next 25 years, our understanding of both the importance of the endothelium as well as NO has greatly expanded. No longer simply a barrier between the blood and vascular smooth muscle, the endothelium is now recognized as a complex tissue with heterogeneous properties. The endothelium is the source of not only NO but also numerous vasoactive molecules and signalling pathways, some of which are still not fully characterized such as the putative endothelium-derived relaxing factor. Dysfunction of the endothelium is a key risk factor for the development of macro- and microvascular disease and, by coincidence, the discovery that NO was generated in the endothelium corresponds approximately in time with the increased incidence of type 2 diabetes. Primarily linked to dietary and lifestyle changes, we are now facing a global pandemic of type 2 diabetes. Characterized by insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia, type 2 diabetes is increasingly being diagnosed in adolescents as well as children. Is there a link between dietary-related hyperglycaemic insults to the endothelium, blood flow changes, and the development of insulin resistance? This review explores the evidence for and against this hypothesis.
