Does fasting serum insulin level correlate with blood pressure in euglycemic individuals?
Fasting serum insulin levels significantly correlate with systolic and diastolic blood pressure in euglycemic individuals, supporting the role of hyperinsulinemia in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension.
