Abstract
Objective. Renin‐angiotensin system inhibitors are reported to be beneficial in delaying the onset of diabetes mellitus. Since islet blood hyperperfusion during hyperglycaemia may be detrimental to endothelium in pancreatic islets and eventually lead to β‐cell dysfunction, we studied acute and chronic effects of angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARB) on islet blood flow before and after glucose load. Material and methods. Islet blood flow...
