Abstract: | To quantitatively evaluate the effect of insulin on cardiac sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) and analyze clinical factors associated with insulin sensitivity for the regulation of SNA in diabetics, 29 Japanese type 2 diabetics without neuropathy were recruited. A 2-h control study and a 2-h hyperinsulinemic euglycemic glucose clamp study were performed. From the power spectral analysis of R-R intervals on ECG during both studies, two major components, the low-frequency (LF) and the high-frequency component (HF), were obtained. Then %LF was calculated as LF/(LF +HF), and the ratio of the average %LF during the last 30 min of the clamp or the control to the average %LF for the entire time for clamp or control (R-%LF) was used as a marker of changes in SNA. R-%LF was significantly higher during the clamp than in the control (1.07 +/- 0.04 vs. 1.03 +/- 0.03, P < 0.05). High responders (individual R-%LF during clamp > or = mean + 2SD in control) showed a higher basal mean blood pressure (BP) before the clamp (89 +/- 3 vs. 82 +/- 2, P < 0.03) but not a higher glucose infusion rate (GIR) compared with low responders (
