Abstract excerpt
Insulin resistance is known to be closely related to essential hypertension. It has been hypothesized that abnormal calcium homeostasis both at the cellular level and in the whole body plays a substantial role in hypertension associated with insulin resistance. We attempted to determine the relationships among insulin sensitivity, blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI), and calcium-related parameters in...
