Background-The mechanism of the hemodynamic effect of insulin in the skeletal muscle circulation has not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the hemodynamic response to insulin involves the concurrent release of endothelin (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO), 2 substances with opposing vasoactive properties,Methods and Results-Bioactivity of ET-1 and NO was assessed without insulin and during insulin infusion in the forearm circulation of healthy subjects by use of blockers of ET-I receptors and by NO synthesis inhibition, In the absence of hyperinsulinemia, ET-1 receptor blockade did not result in any significant change in forearm blood flow from baseline (P=0.29). Intra-arterial insulin administration did not significantly modify forearm blood flow (P=0.88). However, in the presence of hyperinsulinemia, ET-1 receptor antagonism was associated with a significant vasodilator response (P
