Abstract
The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) is an indicator of insulin resistance that has been studied recently. The relationship between insulin resistance and the risk of hypertension has been documented previously. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the association of the TyG index with hypertension incidence. This study aimed to evaluate the association of the TyG index with changes in blood pressure (BP) and hypertension incidence in Mexican adults. This analysis was performed using the Health Workers Cohort Study data. The TyG index was estimated as Ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2] and divided into categories defined by tertiles. The analysis was conducted using fixed-effects linear regression models (n = 1,545) and Cox proportional hazards regression models (n = 1,113), adjusting for potential confounding variables. The incidence rates (95% CI) for the low, medium, and high categories of the TyG index were 22.1 (17.8, 27.5), 35.8 (30.1, 42.7), and 49.4 (42.1, 57.9), respectively. An increase in the levels of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was observed when changing from a low to a medium (DBP: β 2.55 mmHg, 95% CI 0.81, 4.29) and from a low to a high category of the TyG index (SBP: β 3.10 mmHg, 95% CI 1.16, 5.04; DBP: β 4.91 mmHg, 95% CI 2.88, 6.94). Furthermore, participants within the top category of the TyG index had a 56% higher risk of hypertension than those in the bottom category (HR = 1.56; 95% CI 1.18, 2.08). These results support the hypothesis that the TyG index is associated with high blood pressure in Mexican adults.

Abstract
Background To examine the association between changes in fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and insulin-glucose ratio (IGR) levels, over approximately 3 years with incident hypertension. Methods A total of 2814 Iranian participants (1123 men) without hypertension and known diabetes at baseline and the first examination were followed for a median of 6.32 years. The associations between quartiles of changes in fasting insulin and IR indices with incident hypertension were assessed using multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analyses with first quartile as reference. The models were adjusted for baseline values of insulin or each IR index, and age, sex, smoking, physical activity, educational levels, marital status, history of cardiovascular diseases, baseline levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressures, estimated glomerular filtration rate, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting plasma glucose (only for insulin change) and both body mass index (BMI) per se, and its change. Akaike's information criteria (AIC) was applied as indicator for goodness of fit of each predictive model. The discrimination ability of models was calculated using the Harrell's C statistic. Results During the study, 594 incident cases of hypertension (253 men) were identified. The 4th quartile of changes in insulin, HOMA-IR, and IGR showed hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) of 1.31 (1.01-1.69), 1.18 (0.92-1.52), and 1.53 (1.18-1.98) for hypertension, respectively, in fully-adjusted models. Changes in fasting insulin levels and IR indices showed significant increasing trends for incident hypertension, moving from 1st to 4th quartiles (all P-values < 0.05). Focusing on model fitness, no superiority was found between changes in fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and IGR to predict incident hypertension. The discriminatory powers of changes in fasting insulin and IR indices as assessed by C index were similar (i.e. about 80%). Conclusion Changes in fasting insulin and IR indices were significantly associated with developing hypertension among normotensive population even after considering BMI changes.

Abstract
Background/Aims In patients with resistant hypertension, renal denervation (RDN) studies have mainly focused their outcomes on blood pressure (BP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term effect of RDN on neurohormonal profiles, renal hemodynamics and sodium excretion in a resting state and during stress induced by lower body negative pressure (LBNP). Materials and methods This was a single center prospective observational study. Norepinephrine, plasma renin activity (PRA), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal plasma flow (RPF) and sodium excretion were measured in unstimulated conditions (rest) and after one hour of LBNP at three different time points: before (M0), one (M1) and twelve months (M12) after RDN. Results Thirteen patients with resistant hypertension were included. In the resting state, no differences were observed in norepinephrine, PRA, sodium excretion and mean BP levels after RDN. GFR (78 ± 32 ml/min at M0 vs 66 ± 26 ml/min at M12 (p = 0.012) and filtration fraction (22.6 ±5.4% at M0 vs 15.1 ±5.3% at M12 (p = 0.002)) both decreased after RDN. During LBNP, the magnitude of the mean BP increase was reduced from +6.8 ± 6.6 mm Hg at M0 to +2.3 ± 1.3 mm Hg at M12 (p = 0.005). The LBNP-induced increase in norepinephrine and decrease in GFR and sodium excretion observed before RDN were blunted after the procedure. Conclusion A decrease in GFR and filtration fraction was observed one year after RDN. In addition, our results suggest that RDN blunts not only the norepinephrine but also the mean BP, the GFR and the sodium excretion responses to an orthostatic stress one year after the intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance is a precursor of numerous chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). The fasting insulin concentration is considered a reasonable surrogate of insulin resistance, especially among nondiabetic individuals. OBJECTIVE We aimed to quantitatively summarize the literature on the association of fasting insulin concentrations with risk of hypertension, stroke, and coronary heart disease (CHD) by conducting a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. DESIGN Eligible studies were identified by searching PubMed and EMBASE through January 2013. Additional information was retrieved through Google Scholar or a hand review of the reference lists from relevant articles. Prospective cohort studies that reported RRs and corresponding 95% CIs for the association of interest were identified. Data were extracted independently by 2 investigators, and the weighted RRs and 95% CIs for the associations were obtained by using a random-effects model. RESULTS Of the 22 identified studies, 10 reported results on hypertension (36,617 individuals and 4491 cases), 7 on stroke (27,887 individuals and 1550 cases), and 9 on CHD (22,379 individuals and 1986 cases). Comparison of the highest with the lowest quantile of fasting insulin concentrations showed a pooled RR (95% CI) of 1.63 (1.35, 1.97) for hypertension, 1.18 (0.87, 1.60) for stroke, and 1.50 (1.28, 1.77) for CHD. Each 50-pmol/L increment in fasting insulin was associated with a 25% increase in risk of hypertension [RR: 1.25 (1.14, 1.36)] and a 16% increase in risk of CHD [RR: 1.16 (1.10, 1.22)] but was not associated with risk of stroke [RR: 0.999 (0.99, 1.01)]. CONCLUSIONS A higher fasting insulin concentration or hyperinsulinemia was significantly associated with an increased risk of hypertension and CHD but not stroke. This meta-analysis suggests that early fasting insulin ascertainment in the general population may help clinicians identify those who are potentially at high risk of CVD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although hyperinsulinemia, a surrogate of insulin resistance, may play a role in the pathogenesis of hypertension (HTN), the longitudinal association between fasting insulin level and HTN development is still controversial. We examined the relation between fasting insulin and incidence of HTN in a large prospective cohort. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A prospective cohort of 3,413 Americans, aged 18-30 years, without HTN in 1985 (baseline) were enrolled. Six follow-ups were conducted in 1987, 1990, 1992, 1995, 2000, and 2005. Fasting insulin and glucose levels were assessed by a radioimmunoassay and hexokinase method, respectively. Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs of incident HTN (defined as the initiation of antihypertensive medication, systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg). RESULTS During the 20-year follow-up, 796 incident cases were identified. After adjustment for potential confounders, participants in the highest quartile of insulin levels had a significantly higher incidence of HTN (HR 1.85 [95% CI 1.42-2.40]; P(trend) < 0.001) compared with those in the lowest quartile. The positive association persisted in each sex/ethnicity/weight status subgroup. A similar dose-response relation was observed when insulin-to-glucose ratio or homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance was used as exposure. CONCLUSIONS Fasting serum insulin levels or hyperinsulinemia in young adulthood was positively associated with incidence of HTN later in life for both men and women, African Americans and Caucasians, and those with normal weight and overweight. Our findings suggested that fasting insulin ascertainment may help clinicians identify those at high risk of HTN.

Abstract
J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich). 2009;11:483-490. (c) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.The independent association between insulin resistance and the development of hypertension remains in doubt because insulin resistance correlates with other metabolic factors also proposed to be associated with hypertension. The authors examined the association between the insulin sensitivity index and incident hypertension in a prospective nested case-control study among 1453 men (mean age, 61 years) who participated in the Health Professionals' Follow-up Study. The authors computed the insulin sensitivity index for each man in the study based on fasting insulin and triglyceride levels. Logistic regression was performed conditioned on age and adjusted for standard hypertension risk factors as well as renal function, cholesterol, and uric acid. The insulin sensitivity index was 6% lower in the cases compared with the controls (P<.001). The multivariable odds ratio for hypertension comparing the lowest with highest quartile of insulin sensitivity index was 1.09 (0.71-1.65) among the entire sample. However, the association between the insulin sensitivity index and incident hypertension differed significantly by age (P interaction <.001). Among men younger than 60 years, the multivariable odds ratio for the lowest compared with highest quartile was 1.93 (1.01-3.71) but was 0.67 (0.37-1.24) among older men. Insulin resistance is independently associated with incident hypertension among younger men.

Abstract
Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance are closely associated with hypertension in humans and in animal models. Gender differences have been found in the development of hypertension in fructose-fed rats. The objectives of the present study were, first, to clarify whether androgens are required in the development of hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and hypertension in fructose-fed rats, and second, to determine if cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 are also increased in the arteries of these rats. Male rats were gonadectomized or sham-operated and fed a 60% fructose diet beginning at age 7 weeks. Blood pressure was measured by a tail-cuff method, and an oral glucose tolerance test was performed to assess insulin sensitivity after 8 weeks of fructose feeding. Cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA expression was also assessed in the thoracic aortae and mesenteric arteries. Gonadectomy prevented hypertension from developing in the fructose-fed rats, but hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance developed. There was an increase in cyclooxygenase-2 expression in the thoracic aortae and mesenteric arteries of the fructose-fed sham-operated rats while the expression of cyclooxygenase-1 remained unchanged. Gonadectomy prevented the mRNA overexpression of vascular cyclooxygenase-2 in the fructose-fed rats. These results suggest that the presence of androgens is necessary for the development of fructose-induced hypertension. Androgens apparently act as a link between hyperinsulinemia/insulin resistance and hypertension in fructose-hypertensive rats. Furthermore, an increase in the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 is implicated in the development of hypertension. The mechanisms involved require further study.

Abstract
Ion transport in epithelia is regulated by a variety of hormonal and nonhormonal factors, including mineralocorticoids, insulin, shear stress and osmotic pressure. In mammals, the mineralocorticoid aldosterone is the principal regulator of sodium homeostasis and hence is central to the control of extracellular fluid volume and blood pressure. Aldosterone acts through a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), to control the transcriptional activity of specific target genes. Recently, a serine/threonine kinase, SGK1 (serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase isoform 1) was identified as a candidate mediator of aldosterone action in the colon and distal nephron. The aldosterone-activated MR increases SGK1 gene transcription and SGK1, in turn, strongly stimulates the activity of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). Interestingly, other factors appear to regulate SGK1 gene expression and kinase activity. Insulin, for example, stimulates SGK1 activity (but not gene transcription) through its effects on phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase and osmotic shock appears to stimulate both SGK1 activity and gene transcription. Hence, SGK1 might integrate the effects of multiple hormonal and nonhormonal regulators of Na(+) transport in tight epithelia and thereby play a key role in volume homeostasis. It is interesting to speculate that SGK1 might be implicated in medical conditions, such as the insulin resistance syndrome, hypertension and congestive heart failure.

Abstract
To evaluate the role of insulin and hypertriglyceridaemia in the regulation of renal haemodynamics and sodium handling in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), 11 IDDM patients without microalbuminuria and 13 weight-, age-, protein intake- and sex-matched healthy control subjects were studied. Clearances of inulin (Cin), para-amino-hippuric acid (CPAH), sodium (CNa), and lithium (CLi) were measured in four 60-min clearance periods (periods I, II, III and IV) during isoinsulinaemia with lipid emulsion infusion (study 1), a hyperinsulinaemic isoglycaemic clamp with Intralipid infusion (study 2), and during time-controlled isoinsulinaemia (study 3). We found that Cin, CPAH and filtration fraction were comparable in IDDM and control subjects, whereas CNa was decreased in diabetic subjects (2.01 +/- 1.11 vs 3.03 +/- 1.32 ml/min; p < 0.05) due to elevations of proximal tubular fractional and absolute reabsorptions of sodium (p < 0.05). Insulin infusion did not affect Cin, increased CPAH (p < 0.05) and, consequently, lowered the filtration fraction (p < 0.01) in both groups. While acute hyperinsulinaemia resulted in increases in distal tubular fractional and absolute reabsorptions of sodium (p < 0.01) contributing to a fall in CNa (p < 0.01) in control subjects, in diabetic subjects the sodium-retaining effect of insulin was not significant. The lipid emulsion did not alter any of the estimated parameters. We conclude that IDDM without microalbuminuria is associated with a tendency to sodium retention which is not aggravated by insulin when compared to control subjects. Acutely induced hypertriglyceridaemia does not alter renal haemodynamics or renal sodium handling.

Abstract
Epidemiologic and clinical studies suggest an association between hyperinsulinemia (and insulin resistance) and hypertension. This relationship is not present in secondary forms of hypertension and may persist despite adequate antihypertensive therapy. Normotensive offspring of hypertensive parents are also, as a group, insulin resistant and hyperinsulinemic. The association of hyperinsulinemia (and insulin resistance) with hypertension is more marked in the obese but present in lean hypertensive as well. Physiological mechanisms by which insulin might increase blood pressure include sympathetic nervous system stimulation and enhancement or renal sodium reabsorption. Evidence exists linking both of these mechanisms to hypertension. Insulin is also independently associated with myocardial infarction and microalbuminuria, two long term complications of high blood pressure. Experimentally induced decreases in insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, furthermore, have been associated with decreased blood pressure. In summary, the evidence suggests that hyperinsulinemia (and insulin resistance) exerts a pro-hypertensive effect that may be important in the pathogenesis of hypertension and hypertensive complications in some patients with essential hypertension.

Abstract
The effects of insulin on renal haemodynamics and renal sodium handling were studied in eight insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetic patients (aged 30 +/- 3 years). Seven healthy men (aged 38 +/- 4 years) served as controls. The type 1 diabetic patients were resistant to insulin-stimulated glucose disposal as estimated by a 45% lower metabolic (P < 0.01) clearance of glucose as compared with controls. However, type 1 diabetic patients were still sensitive to the distal tubular antinatriuretic effect of insulin, as indicated by an increase in distal sodium reabsorption (95.5 +/- 0.5% to 96.9% +/- 0.4%; P < 0.05) during insulin infusion compared with controls (95.5% +/- 0.6% to 97.4% +/- 0.3%; P < 0.05). In control subjects insulin infusion was associated with 9% increases (P < 0.05) in lithium clearance and in renal plasma flow, whereas no significant increases in lithium clearance and in renal plasma flow were observed in the type 1 diabetic patients. In both groups, the changes in renal plasma flow in response to insulin infusion were positively correlated with that in lithium clearance (r = 0.80 and r = 0.90, respectively; P < 0.05-0.01). In conclusion, the present result demonstrates an intact distal tubular sodium retaining effect in conjunction with a blunted decrease in proximal tubular sodium reabsorption following insulin infusion, which could be the result of an impaired renal vasodilation in type 1 diabetes mellitus.
