1 Treating insulin resistance in hypertension with metformin reduces both blood pressure and metabolic risk factors. Metformin insulin Homo sapiens
2 Metformin decreased total and LDL-cholesterol (P less than 0.01), triglyceride (P less than 0.01), fasting plasma insulin (P less than 0.01) and C-peptide levels (P less than 0.02). Metformin insulin Homo sapiens
3 In conclusion, metformin treatment increased insulin action, lowered blood pressure, improved the metabolic risk factor profile and tended to increase the fibrinolytic activity in these mildly hypertensive subjects. Metformin insulin Homo sapiens
