INS and hypertensive disorder: Male spontaneously diabetic Torii (SDT) fatty rats at 8 weeks of age were randomly assigned to three groups: the liraglutide group (SDT-lira, n = 6) received a subcutaneous injection of liraglutide from the age of 8 to 16 weeks, the SDT-ins-hyd group (n = 6) was provided both insulin against hyperglycemia and hydralazine against hypertension to match levels of both blood glucose and blood pressure to those of the liraglutide group, and the control group of SDT fatty rats (SDT-vehicle, n = 7) and a nondiabetic control group of Sprague–Dawley rats (SD, n = 7) were injected with vehicle only.
