Abstract excerpt
AIM: Essential hypertension (EH) is often accompanied by hyperinsulinemia/insulin resistance (IR) and deranged adiponectin secretion. IR may in turn be associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). Therefore, we aimed to determine metabolic abnormalities in normotensive offspring of subjects with essential hypertension (familial trait-FT) and to examine their...
