The results suggest that abnormalities in vascular reactivity and biochemical markers of endothelial cell activation are present early in individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, even at a stage when normal glucose tolerance exists, and that factors in addition to insulin resistance may be operative.

614 Citations2001Tien Yin Wong, Ronald Klein +4 more
There is no convincing evidence of an independent or direct association with atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, or cardiovascular mortality, but when reliably quantified, retinal microvascular abnormalities may be useful as risk indicators for cerebrovascular diseases.
HypertensionRemodeling of cerebral arterioles in chronic hypertension.
493 Citations1989Gary L. Baumbach, Donald D. Heistad
It is proposed that, during chronic hypertension, cerebral arterioles undergo structural remodeling that results in a smaller external diameter and encroachment on the vascular lumen and reduction in vascular diameter in SHRSP cannot be accounted for by altered distensibility.

The patterns of association suggested that these signs reflect both transient and persisting structural effects of elevated blood pressure, in agreement with the scant pathologic literature available.

The maximal microvascular hyperaemic response to local heating was determined in the feet of 11 subjects with fasting hyperglycaemia and 11 age-and sex-matched control subjects, and it is unlikely that this limited vasodilation is a result of the mild degree of hyper glycaemia observed in the subjects included in this study.

Impaired insulin-stimulated peripheral glucose uptake in normotensive sons from hypertensive families was accompanied by retained insulin-mediated forearm vasodilation, and the positive correlation between glucose disposal and decrease in forearm vascular resistance in the relatives suggests that insulin- mediated vasodilator response may be a limiting factor for peripheral sugars uptake in insulin-resistant individuals.
