Crosstalk between insulin and angiotensin II signalling systems
Experimental and clinical endocrinology & diabetes, 1999•thieme-connect.com
Insulin resistance and hypertension commonly occur together. Pharmacological inhibition of
the renin-angiotensin system has been found to reduce not only hypertension, but also
insulin resistance. This raises the possibility that the renin-angiotensin system may interact
with insulin signalling.
