Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 2WcR0xsH. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Introduction : The association between type 2 diabetes and hypertension has long been described, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Na-Li countertransport (Na-Li CT) activity is viewed as a marker of inherited pre-disposition to hypertension, especially if associated with other metabolic abnormalities. Aim To evaluate whether enhanced Na-Li CT activity is a predictor of type 2 diabetes. METHODS : Study participants were 2167 men and women, 30-70 years. Na-Li CT activity, glucose, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, height, and weight were measured. Six years incidence of diabetes (WHO) was assessed. RESULTS : Baseline Na-Li CT activity was significantly higher for people who developed diabetes at follow-up (n=101) than for those who remained non-diabetic (364+/-184 vs 300+/-150 micromol/l RBC/h, P |
