The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of captopril on carbohydrate metabolism in diabetic patients with essential arterial hypertension. Sixteen patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and hypertension were studied. Captopril was employed in different doses, and where patients receiving 100 mg/day remained hypertensive, hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg/day was added. Treatment was maintained for 90 days in 14 patients, 2 being excluded because of side effects. Basal blood pressure was normalized in 8 patients (57%) with captopril alone, and in 6 patients (43%) following the addition of hydrochlorothiazide. Basal glucose levels were not altered. Oral glucose tolerance tests performed during captopril treatment showed a lower glucose response, without changes in the insulin response. There was significant weight loss during the study. We conclude that captopril appears to be a safe treatment in essential hypertension associated with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, producing no deleterious effects on metabolic control.

D002216 Captopril A potent and specific inhibitor of PEPTIDYL-DIPEPTIDASE A. It blocks the conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, a vasoconstrictor and important regulator of arterial blood pressure. Captopril acts to suppress the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM and inhibits pressure responses to exogenous angiotensin.

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
