    Journal: Cor Vasa; 1992; 34(4):329-41. PubMed ID: 1308725.
    Abstract:
    In an open two-month study with an initial placebo period, the effect of enalapril on glucose tolerance, insulin (IRI) sensitivity and lipid profile was evaluated in 20 patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension. The following results were obtained: 1. Enalapril produced a favourable effect of blood pressure both in monotherapy and if combined with a diuretic. 2. Therapy did not lead to significant differences in blood glucose, IRI or IRI/glucose increase at 1 or 2 hours of oral glucose tolerance test either in patients with monotherapy or combination therapy, and with normal or disturbed glucose tolerance, respectively. 3. Serum lipids (total and HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides) did not change significantly in any group of patients.
