• To define the physiological relationships between cardiovascular function, glucose regulation, and insulin secretion, we submitted nine young normotensive subjects to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and blood sampling at 20-minute intervals for 24 hours to measure glucose, insulin, C peptide, cortisol, and growth hormone [20].
• For each patient, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and echocardiographic determination of left ventricular mass index were performed at the end of a 4-week wash-out pretreatment period, after 3 and 12 months of treatment with lisinopril or with lisinopril plus hydrochlorothiazide and after a final 4-week placebo period [21].
