Network linking hypertension and insulin resistance. Hypertension and insulin resistance are strictly connected. Insulin resistance induces hyperglycemia, compensative hyperinsulinemia and activation of the sympathetic system, which, in turn, favors the development of a hypertensive state. On the other hand, hypertension is characterized by endothelial dysfunction, which induces insulin resistance.
