felodipine and Hyperinsulinism

felodipine has been researched along with Hyperinsulinism in 1 studies

Felodipine: A dihydropyridine calcium antagonist with positive inotropic effects. It lowers blood pressure by reducing peripheral vascular resistance through a highly selective action on smooth muscle in arteriolar resistance vessels.
felodipine : The mixed (methyl, ethyl) diester of 4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid. A calcium-channel blocker, it lowers blood pressure by reducing peripheral vascular resistance through a highly selective action on smooth muscle in arteriolar resistance vessels. It is used in the management of hypertension and angina pectoris.

Hyperinsulinism: A syndrome with excessively high INSULIN levels in the BLOOD. It may cause HYPOGLYCEMIA. Etiology of hyperinsulinism varies, including hypersecretion of a beta cell tumor (INSULINOMA); autoantibodies against insulin (INSULIN ANTIBODIES); defective insulin receptor (INSULIN RESISTANCE); or overuse of exogenous insulin or HYPOGLYCEMIC AGENTS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We examined the effects of ARB administration on hyperinsulinemia-associated capillary density by measuring baseline skin capillary density, capillary density during reactive hyperemia (hyperemic capillary recruitment), and capillary density during venous congestion in 17 hypertensive individuals in the basal state, during a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp, and during a hyperinsulinemic clamp with acute ARB administration (600 mg irbesartan), acute calcium channel blockade (CCB; 10mg felodipine ER), as a control for the reduction in blood pressure, or placebo."5.15Acute angiotensin II receptor blockade improves insulin-induced microvascular function in hypertensive individuals.
