ACE inhibition was not associated with altered insulin sensitivity in renovascular hypertension; leaves open whether RAAS blockade affects glucose metabolism in other hypertensive states.
Does ACE inhibition alter insulin sensitivity in patients with renovascular hypertension?
Renovascular hypertension is not associated with insulin resistance, and reducing renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activity does not alter insulin action.
Natali et al. (1996) studied this question.
