The Claim

Seven days of euglycemic hyperinsulinemia does not increase mean arterial blood pressure in conscious normal rats, with baseline pressure of 125 +/- 5 mmHg remaining unchanged at 127 +/- 7 mmHg after insulin infusion.

In plain English

Giving rats insulin for a week while keeping their blood sugar normal doesn't change their blood pressure.

1 study

  1. Study: Seven Days of Euglycemic Hyperinsulinemia Induces Insulin Resistance for Glucose Metabolism but Not Hypertension, Elevated Catecholamine Levels, or Increased Sodium Retention in Conscious Normal Rats

    The study gave rats insulin for 7 days while keeping their blood sugar normal, exactly like the claim describes. It found their blood pressure stayed the same (125 mmHg before, 127 mmHg after), which proves the claim is true.
