Adverse Effects of Hyperinsulinemia High levels of insulin in blood result in the three effects listed below which contribute to an increase in blood pressure: Retention of sodium Sodium retention will also cause the retention of water. The retention of sodium and water increases the blood volume. The increased blood volume will increase blood pressure. Overreaction of a certain part of the nervous system (the sympathetic nervous system) Increase in the contraction rate of the heart . The result is more blood being pumped through the heart. The rate of blood flow through the heart (cardiac output) directly affects blood pressure. Constriction of the arteries. The opening in the artery becomes smaller when the artery constricts which can result in resistance to blood flow and increased blood pressure. Hypertrophy of arteries Hypertrophy of arteries is the thickening of the walls of the arteries. When the artery wall becomes thicker, there is a smaller opening in the artery through which the same amount of blood must pass. The smaller opening will cause a resistance to blood flow and an increased blood pressure.

Mounting evidence supports Harman's hypothesis that aging is caused by free radicals and oxidative stress. Although it is known that oxidant species are produced during metabolic reactions, it is largely unknown which factor(s), of physiological or pathophysiological significance, modulate their production in vivo. In this hypothesis paper, it is postulated that hyperinsulinemia may have such function and therefore promote aging, independently of elevations of glycemia. Hyperinsulinemia is secondary to impaired insulin stimulated glucose metabolism at the level of skeletal muscle (insulin resistance) and is seen in about one third of glucose tolerant humans following dietary carbohydrate intake.

(advertisement) Excerpt from Hyperinsulinemia Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: hyperinsulinemia, beta-cell hyperplasia, hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, nesidioblastosis Please click here to view the full topic text: Hyperinsulinemia Background: Primary hyperinsulinism is a rare but important cause of hypoglycemia in infants and children. It is the most common cause of neonatal hypoglycemia following the first few hours of life. The clinical presentation varies with the age of the child. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent seizures and neurologic sequelae. Persistent hypoglycemia and inappropriately high concentrations of insulin are diagnostic findings. The concentrations of free fatty acids and ketones (ie, beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate) are low. Several genetic causes of persistent hyperinsulinism recently have been identified. Pathophysiology: The differential diagnosis of hypoglycemia is extensive, and determining the underlying cause often is difficult. An understanding of glucose homeostasis can help narrow the differential diagnosis. In the fasting state, glucose is provided through glycogenolysis in the liver. After a few hours of fasting, insulin levels fall, and increased lipolysis creates free fatty acids and glycerol. Fatty acids do not cross the blood brain barrier and, therefore, are not used by the brain. However, fatty acids are used by the heart and muscle. Increased free fatty acids result in production of ketones, and the brain is able to metabolize ketones as an alternative source of fuel.

Home Up Peripheral tissue resistance to the effects of insulin has been strongly connected to glucose intolerance, and the emergence of type 2 diabetes. Although often seen in obese individuals, this is independent of obesity or waist circumference. For an excellent discussion of the role of insulin resistance, read the 1997 American Diabetes Association Consensus Development Conference report Haffner et al (1995) report on their follow up of 714 Mexican-American participants in the San Antonio Heart Study. Ninety-one (91) of these subjects developed type 2 diabetes by the time of follow up. Looking at both fasting insulin levels (as an indicator of insulin resistance) and at the change in insulin levels in response to changes in glucose load (as a measure of insulin secretion), they found that both increased resistance and decreased insulin secretion at baseline independently predicted those patients who later were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Forty-four of the 91 patients identified at follow-up had normal glucose tolerance tests, but evidence of insulin resistance; other patients had impaired glucose tolerance on testing. As one would suspect, insulin resistance and subsequent hyperinsulinemia have also been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The so-called

Advertise Classifieds New Products Links ... Special Features Hypertension and Hyperinsulinemia By Dr. Brian P. Jakes, Jr. Hypertension is defined as the sustained elevation of either or both systolic and diastolic blood pressure while at rest. There are several different classifications of hypertension, but the two main categories are primary, also called essential hypertension, and secondary hypertension. The majority of all those diagnosed with hypertension fall under the primary category while only a small percentage are classified as secondary hypertensive. Secondary hypertension is the result of some other condition or disease where as primary hypertension is said, by conventional medicine, to have no identifiable cause for development. An overwhelming number of studies have revealed that diet, obesity and vitamin and mineral deficiencies are related to primary hypertension. Changes in lifestyle and the uses of specific supplements have proven to be extremely effective in the treatment and reversal of mild primary hypertension and could be considered prior to the use of prescription drugs Hypertension is strongly associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and is one of the major factors in the incidences of heart attacks in both the diabetic and non-diabetic population. It can also contribute to the progression of atherosclerosis. Numerous studies show a definite correlation between hypertension, diabetes, hyperglycemia, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.

It is thought to be implicated, but not yet proven to be causal, in ADHD, ADD and some forms of Cancer. Its beginning symptoms are so mild that most who exhibit them do not realize that they are under a sentence of premature death and disability. It affects adults and children of all ages. At the turn of the last century this disease was so rare that many doctors could not correctly identify it. Today this disease forms such an important economic pillar in the medical community that every doctor in the country can easily recognize it at a glance."

11. Untitled hyperinsulinemia. hyperinsulinemia is an endocrine disorder characterizedby a failure of our Blood Sugar Control System (BSCS) to work properly. http://www.healingmatters.com/hyperin.htm

Hyperinsulinemia Hyperinsulinemia is an endocrine disorder characterized by a failure of our B lood S ugar C ontrol S ystem ( BSCS ) to work properly. It manifests when Insulin progressively loses its effectiveness in sweeping the blood Glucose from the blood stream into the sixty seven trillion or so cells that constitute our bodies. Insulin levels in the blood rapidly rise to damaging levels and, together with the resulting elevated Glucose levels, account for much of the damage to our Arteries and Vascular system. When Insulin loses its effectiveness this loss is not due to any change in the Insulin produced by the Pancreas. It is due to a change in the cellular metabolism of almost every cell in our body. Although our Insulin has not changed, our cell metabolism has changed. Our cells no longer respond to blood borne Insulin signalling as they should. Our Blood Sugar Control System works like any type 0, negative feedback system to maintain our blood sugar at a predetermined setpoint. This setpoint is below the threshold where excess Glucose can cause Vascular damage. And the Insulin required to do this is normally below the threashold where it will cause Arterial or Vascular damage. When the Blood Sugar Control System is working right, it automatically, without our concious knowledge, maintains correct blood sugar with a minimum amount of Insulin whether we have just eaten a meal or been fasting and exercising for a week. When our system starts to exhibit Hyperinsulinemia, our Pancreatic Beta cells simply increase Insulin production and for a time this maintains our ability to swiftly lower post prandial (after eating) blood Glucose. For a time this maintains normal Glucose levels, albeit by the secretion of these abnormally high Insulin levels.

Kidney failure Technically termed Renal Nephropathy, Kidney Disease is an inevitable result of the chronically uncontrolled blood Glucose and chronic high Insulin levels that are associated with Hyperinsulinemia and Type 2 diabetes. The Kidneys are system filters whose purpose is to filter out the water soluble waste materials in the blood, to mix them with an appropriate amount of water to form urine and to send this mixture to the bladder for excretion from the body. They do this in a way that conserves blood components that may be needed for future use. Thus the Kidneys return non-waste blood components to the blood stream to maintain proper blood Homeostasis, they control the blood PH to within very tight limits (7.35-7.45), they control the water Electrolyte blood balance and they, through the action of Renin-Angiotensis mechanism and the excretion of water from the system, play an important role in the operation of the Blood Pressure Control System (BPCS). This BPCS is another of the bodies' control systems similar to, but not directly related to, the Blood Sugar Control System. In structure the Kidneys consist largely of many fine capillaries through which the blood flows during the filtration process. A number of complex osmotic reactions occur during the passage of blood through the Kidneys that are driven by the Electrolyte balance in the blood and by the osmatic pressure differentials caused by the Sodium Potassium balance in the blood stream.

Home Hospitals Jobs webBabies ... News INSULIN RESISTANCE AND HYPERINSULINEMIA What are insulin resistance (IR) and hyperinsulinemia? Beta cells in the pancreas produce insulin. Insulin stimulates uptake of glucose (sugar) from the blood to the cells in the body. When the body's cells are resistant to the action of the insulin, it is called insulin resistance (IR). As a result of the insulin resistance, the pancreas produces much more insulin than normal. This is called hyperinsulinemia (Figures 1,2). As an example, in a normal person, 1 unit of insulin might be needed to help 10 mg of glucose go into the cell, but in a hyperinsulinemic person, 10 units of insulin might be needed to get the same 10 mg of glucose into the cell (Figure 2). With hyperinsulinemia and IR come a myriad of problems including the following: high triglycerides (increased risk of heart and stroke) high plasminogen activator inhibitor activity (PAI-Fx), causing increased risk of clotting low HDL cholesterol (increased risk of heart attack and stroke) high uric acid (gout) polycystic ovary syndrome (endocrine disorder with oligo-amenorrhea, infertility, hirsutism, obesity, high Leptin levels
