Methods: Totally 93 cases were randomly divided into a control group of 31 cases taking Enalapril and a treatment group of 62 cases taking Enalapril and Yixin Jiangya Capsules. Results: Fasting serum insulin (FSI) and TNF-α obviously increased and insulin sensitive index (ISI) significantly decreased in both groups before treatment as compared to those of a healthy group. After treatment, FSI, TNF-α and fasting blood glucose (FBG) obviously decreased and ISI remarkably increased in the treatment group, while ISI significantly increased and TNF-α obviously decreased in the control group. The curative effect in the treatment group was remarkably superior to that in the control group. FSI was positively related to TNF-α before treatment in both groups. Conclusion: FSI and TNF-α obviously increase and ISI significantly decreases in patients with primary hypertension with LVH. FSI and TNF-α influencing each other are involved in the generation and development of hypertension. Yixin Jiangya Capsules can improve IR and decrease TNF-α.展开更多
