Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to better understand the contribution of sympathetic vasoconstriction to impaired insulin-mediated vasodilation and subsequently insulin-mediated glucose uptake. The investigators will test the hypothesis that removal of sympathetic vasoconstriction can result in improvement in insulin-mediated vasodilation and subsequently sensitivity to insulin-mediated glucose uptake.

Primary Outcome

The Primary Outcome will be the change in CEU induced by insulin during hyperinsulinemic clamp compared to baseline. To test the null hypothesis that insulin will not produce any changes in microvascular blood volume using CEU in response to α-adrenergic blockade (phentolamine) in the isolated forearm model.
