    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between blood glucose, insulin and hypertension in children. METHODS: Fasting serum glucose (GS), insulin (IS) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were determined in 60 obese children and 60 normal controls, and oral glucose tolerance test was performed for half of them. RESULTS: It showed that there were no significant differences in fasting GS, HDL and GS after glucose load between the two groups, and fasting IS, IS after glucose load, an area and a ratio of IS to GS under the insulin curve all were higher in the obese group than those in the control one. There were 43 obese children (71.7%) with hypertension. CONCLUSION: There existed hyper-insulinemia and insulin resistance in obese children and there also was close relationship between obesity and hypertension in them.
