Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze changes in the nesfatin-1 level in hypertensive patients depending on the carbohydrate profile parameters. 83 hypertensive patients aged 33 to 77 years were examined. Nesfatin-1 levels were determined by enzyme immunoassay method. Hypertensive patients have significantly higher levels of adipocytokine than healthy people. Results of data analyses may indicate a possible antihyperglycemic and insulinotropic effect of nesfatin-1 in hypertensive patients with normoglycemia or prediabetes. Confirmation of these processes requires a special study.
