Natriuretic peptides have reportedly been associated with cardiac hypertrophy and insulin resistance; however, it has not been established if B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is associated with either insulin resistance or cardiac remodelling in a population with normal plasma BNP levels. We investigated the relationship among plasma BNP levels, insulin resistance, and left ventricular (LV) remodelling in a population with normal physiological plasma BNP levels.

较低的 B 型利钠肽水平可预测左心室向心性重构和胰岛素抵抗

据报道，利钠肽与心脏肥大和胰岛素抵抗有关；然而，尚未确定 B 型利钠肽 (BNP) 是否与血浆 BNP 水平正常的人群中的胰岛素抵抗或心脏重塑有关。我们研究了血浆 BNP 水平正常的人群中血浆 BNP 水平、胰岛素抵抗和左心室 (LV) 重塑之间的关系。
