Abstract excerpt
Although insulin resistance often occurs in association with hypertension, considerable variation is observed in the degree of insulin resistance among hypertensive patients. Since there is evidence of a genetic basis in the development of insulin resistance in hypertension, we analyzed the contribution of genetic factors to insulin resistance in hypertensive patients. Sixty-six Japanese hypertensive patients...
