- Recent studies have indicated that diets rich in digestible carbohydrates and dietary fibre might be beneficial in the regulation of type II non insulin dependent diabetes (NIDD). Addition of the gel forming type of dietary fibre such as pectin and guar gum to meals or glucose solutions reduces post-prandial glucose and insulin response. Addition of cereal fibres in the form of bran seems to have long term beneficial effect improving glucose tolerance. Little is known, however, concerning effects of dietary fibre naturally occurring in food on postprandial glucose and hormone response. In the present study we prepared two breakfast meals which were similar regarding digestible carbohydrates but differed in their dietary fibre content. One of the meals, including whole grain bread and whole apples, contained 8.4 g of dietary fibre, and the other one, containing white bread and apple juice, 3.1 g. When given to eight NIDD, the fibre rich breakfast gave significantly lower blood glucose increment during the three hours following ingestion. The results indicate that foods rich in dietary fibre might be useful in the regulation of type II diabetes.

- The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute and long-term effects on blood pressure and hemodynamics both at rest and during acute exposure to loud noise of drugs with beta-adrenoceptor blocking and vasodilating properties. Prizidilol and carvedilol both act as nonselective beta-blocking and precapillary vasodilating compounds. Prizidilol (200 mg X 2) was compared to propranolol (80 mg X 2) plus hydralazine (25 mg X 2) and showed similar antihypertensive effect in a long-term double-blind randomized trial. Carvedilol was evaluated acutely with invasive (dye-dilution) and noninvasive (plethysmography) technique and showed an acute antihypertensive effect without causing a rise in TPR and with a decrease in regional resistance in the fore-arm. Acutely, carvedilol (25 mg and 50 mg) decreased blood pressure and regional resistance (50 mg) in contrast to propranolol (80 mg) which did not lower blood pressure acutely and caused an increase in regional resistance. In a long-term double-blind, randomized comparison, both propranolol (80 mg X 2) and carvedilol (25 mg X 2 and 50 mg X 2) showed a useful antihypertensive effect. After 29 days, however, it was still possible to demonstrate an acute decrease in resistance with carvedilol (50 mg) after tablet intake, indicating the vasodilating activity of this compound. When patients with essential hypertension were exposed to an even broad band noise (100 dBA), there was a rise in blood pressure due to an increase in TPR. Alpha 1-adrenoceptor blockade (prazosin 2 mg) prevented the rise in TPR but blood pressure increased in spite of this due to a rise in CO. Moreover, nonselective beta-adrenoceptor blockade and alpha 1-adrenoceptor blockade in combination (labetalol 200 mg) were unable to prevent the rise in blood pressure induced by noise. Finally, precapillary vasodilatation and beta-adrenoceptor blockade (prizidilol 400 mg) given as long-term treatment were also inefficient in preventing the noise-induced (105 dBA) rise in blood pressure. The absolute level of blood pressure obtained, however, was significantly lower than during placebo administration.

- Carvedilol (BM14190) is a new compound with combined properties of nonselective beta-adrenoceptor blockade, devoid of ISA, and precapillary vasodilatation. Its acute hemodynamic effects were studied with invasive technique (dye-dilution using Cardio-Green) in 10 patients taking 25 mg orally and noninvasive (fore-arm plethysmography) in 10 patients taking 25 mg and in 10 patients taking 50 mg orally, all with essential hypertension. Significant reductions of systolic and diastolic blood pressures (p less than 0.05 - 0.001) were observed in all groups. TPR did not change acutely whereas resistance in the fore-arm was reduced by 16% (p less than 0.05). When a comparison with propranolol (80 mgx2) was made in a randomized, double-blind placebo controlled trial comprising 30 patients with essential hypertension, carvedilol acutely reduced blood pressure significantly 13/6 mm Hg (25 mg) and 17/10 mm Hg (50 mg) in contrast to propranolol. Resistance in the fore-arm (plethysmography) fell significantly with carvedilol 50 mg whereas propranolol caused a significant rise. After 4 weeks both compounds had reduced blood pressure significantly and to the same extent. Blood flow was still reduced with propranolol in contrast to the findings with carvedilol. We conclude that carvedilol given orally has a useful antihypertensive effect both acutely and during prolonged treatment. It has an attractive hemodynamic profile.
