Researchers at the annual American Heart Association informed that a risk of hypertonia development highly depends on the efficiency an organism employs insulin. Scientists surveyed 809 mean-age people. When the survey just began, all participants of the experiment had a normal blood pressure and a changing level of insulin resistance. Five years later, researchers obtained a clear information showing that those who had been more resistive to insulin effect, had more higher blood pressure jump. The results obtained prove that a drop in organism resistance to insulin acceptation helps to prevent hypertonia and other cardiovascular diseases development. It’s also possible, that namely the insulin-resistance of some people is a reason of hypertonia development. These suppositions are based on statistical data that shows that not less than 50% of diabetics also suffer from hypertonia.

High resistance of organism to insulin is explained by blood vessel wall thickening, which is the first sign of forming thromboses in arteries and can lead to a heart attack and an insult.

Insulin is reproduced by abdominal salivary gland to process sugar containing in blood and transform it into energy. Assisting bogy in sugar processing, insulin thus prevents production of excessive sugar amount in organism and diabetes development beginning.

When insulin resistance of an organism is high, abdominal salivary gland is able to produce more insulin to process sugar. Scientists are inclined to consider that these high insulin doses might directly effect on artery walls and cause their thickening. That makes harm to the entire organism due to reduction of the blood vessel diameter and increase of blood pressure and level of fats circulating in blood.
