1934-P: Acute Hyperglycemia Increases Perfusion of Skeletal and Cardiac Muscle in Healthy Subjects

Introduction: Over time, diabetes damages both the micro- and macrovasculature. Acutely, hyperglycemia causes oxidative stress and multiple biochemical abnormalities in endothelial cells. However, initial in vivo functional vascular responses to acute hyperglycemia (AH) are not well-characterized in humans or animals. Measurement of microvascular perfusion (MP) and endothelial function provides in vivo estimates of nutrient and hormone access to...
