Insulin's beta-adrenergic vascular effects in healthy forearms warrant mechanistic follow-up; leaves open translation to insulin-resistant or clinical populations.
Does insulin modulate the beta-adrenergic vasodilator pathway in the human forearm?
Insulin modulates sympathetic-induced vasoconstriction through interactions with both alpha-2 and beta-adrenergic receptor pathways in healthy humans.
Lembo et al. (1996) studied this question.
