| Summary: | Background: Cilnidipine, a common hypertension medication, is now being studied for its potential to improve insulin sensitivity, which plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels. Recent research suggests that cilnidipine may benefit individuals with both hypertension and insulin resistance, offering a promising avenue for further investigation and potential therapeutic applications. Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the influence of cilnidipine on insulin sensitivity, seeking to comprehend how this medication affects the body's capacity to utilize insulin efficiently. Methods: The current literature search was conducted using diverse databases, primarily including PubMed, Elsevier, Google Scholar, and the Iraqi Virtual Science Library. The search was limited to publications up to [2009-2023], and the keywords "Cilnidipine" and "Insulin Sensitivity" were used to identify relevant articles. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to filter the search results, and the number of papers retrieved meeting these criteria was recorded for further analysis. Results: indicate that cilnidipine may have a positive impact on insulin sensitivity in individuals with hypertension and type 2 diabetes. This suggests that cilnidipine could potentially be a beneficial therapeutic option for addressing insulin resistance in these patients. However, it is crucial to note that further research is necessary to confirm these findings and evaluate the long-term effects of cilnidipine on insulin sensitivity. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate a potential positive impact of cilnidipine on insulin sensitivity in individuals with both hypertension and type 2 diabetes. This suggests that cilnidipine could serve as a promising therapeutic option for addressing insulin resistance in these patients. |
