1 We hypothesize that cortisol is associated with impaired microvascular function and that this contributes to cortisol-associated high blood pressure and insulin resistance. Hydrocortisone insulin Homo sapiens
2 In women, but not in men, urinary cortisol excretion was associated with impaired capillary recruitment (r=-0.66, P<0.001), higher systolic blood pressure (r=0.64, P<0.001) and lower insulin sensitivity (r=-0.43, P<0.05). Hydrocortisone insulin Homo sapiens
