FIGURE 2. Lack of a dose-response relationship between plasma insulin and MSNA.

FIGURE 2

After combining results from 8 studies measuring MSNA in humans during 60-minutes of a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp, a dose-dependent rise in MSNA is not observed, such that higher plasma insulin levels do not appear to result in greater sympathoexcitation (Data adapted from: Vollenweider et al 1994; Vollenweider et al 1993; Vollenweider et al 1995; Young et al 2010; Scherrer et al 1993; Anderson et al 1992; Anderson et al 1991; Hoffman et al 1997).
