The Claim
In individuals with untreated mild essential hypertension, insulin stimulation results in a 33% increase in skeletal muscle blood flow, compared to a 91% increase in normotensive individuals, demonstrating a significantly reduced insulin-mediated vasodilatory response in hypertension.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People with mild high blood pressure don't get as big of a blood flow boost in their muscles when insulin kicks in, compared to people with normal blood pressure.
See the scientific wording
In untreated individuals with mild essential hypertension, insulin stimulation increases skeletal muscle blood flow by only 33%, compared to a 91% increase in normotensive individuals, indicating a marked reduction in insulin-mediated vasodilation in hypertension.
What the research says
1 studyThe study shows that in people with mild high blood pressure, insulin doesn't increase blood flow to muscles as much as it does in people with normal blood pressure—just like the claim says.
