Several studies have reported that insulin resistance and compensatory hyperinsulinemia often coexist with hypertension. Increased activity of glutathione peroxidase has been reported in patients with essential hypertension. Recently, overexpression of glutathione peroxidase has also been linked to the etiology of insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to determine the possible relation between the activity of glutathione peroxidase and insulin resistance status in essential hypertensive patients. A case-control study was performed on 35 hypertensive patients and 30 control subjects. The levels of insulin and insulin resistance as measured by the homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and glutathione peroxidase were significantly increased in hypertensive patients compared with control subjects. In this study, a direct association was observed between glutathione peroxidase with HOMA-IR and insulin levels in essential hypertensive subjects. In conclusion, our results suggest that increased glutathione peroxidase can be one of the detrimental factors in contributing to insulin resistance in essential hypertensive subjects.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D016022 Case-Control Studies Comparisons that start with the identification of persons with the disease or outcome of interest and a control (comparison, referent) group without the disease or outcome of interest. The relationship of an attribute is examined by comparing both groups with regard to the frequency or levels of outcome over time.

D057075 Enzyme Assays Methods used to measure the relative activity of a specific enzyme or its concentration in solution. Typically an enzyme substrate is added to a buffer solution containing enzyme and the rate of conversion of substrate to product is measured under controlled conditions. Many classical enzymatic assay methods involve the use of synthetic colorimetric substrates and measuring the reaction rates using a spectrophotometer.
