Description

The investigators will study 22 healthy subjects (18-35 yrs) four times as follows: Saline + Octreotide + euglycemia; Octreotide + hyperglycemia; Octreotide + hyperglycemia + insulin clamp and Octreotide + Euglycemia + insulin clamp.

The investigators will study 22 healthy subjects (18-35 yrs) four times as follows: Saline + Octreotide + euglycemia; Octreotide + hyperglycemia; Octreotide + hyperglycemia + insulin clamp and Octreotide + Euglycemia + insulin clamp. The sequence of admissions will be assigned randomly. The investigators will assess function in conduit (pulse wave velocity-PWV, augmentation index-AI and flow-mediated dilation-FMD), resistance (post-ischemic flow velocity-PIFV) and heart and skeletal muscle microvascular (contrast enhanced ultrasound-CEU) vessels. This work will: a) identify whether vascular stiffness and indices of NO action are impaired throughout the arterial tree with hyperglycemia.
