Background-Endothelial function is impaired in patients with diabetes mellitus, However, the factors contributing to this defect are currently unknown. Hyperglycemia attenuates endothelium-dependent relaxation in normal rabbit arteries in vitro and rat arterioles in vivo. Accordingly, this study examined the effect of acute hyperglycemia on endothelium-dependent vasodilation in nondiabetic humans in vivo.Methods and Results-Endothelium-dependent vasodilation was assessed through brachial artery infusion of methacholine chloride both before and during 6 hours of local hyperglycemia (300 mg/dL) achieved by intra-arterial infusion of 50% dextrose, Forearm blood flow was determined by plethysmography, In a group of 10 subjects, there was a trend toward attenuated methacholine-mediated vasodilation during hyperglycemia compared with euglycemia (P=.07 by ANOVA; maximal response, 13.3+/-2.8 versus 14.7+/-1.5 mL . min(-1). 100 mL(-1), respectively). In these subjects, the systemic serum insulin levels increased significantly during the dextrose infusion (P.50),Conclusions-Acute hyperglycemia impairs endothelium-dependent vasodilation in healthy humans in vivo. This finding suggests that elevated glucose may contribute to the endothelial dysfunction observed in patients with diabetes mellitus.
