Arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction are both reported in children with type 1 diabetes (DM1) and may predict future cardiovascular events. In health, nitric oxide (NO) relaxes arteries and increases microvascular perfusion. The relationships between NO-dependent macro- and microvascular functional responses and arterial stiffness have not been studied in adolescents with DM1. Here, we assessed macro- and microvascular function in DM1 adolescents and age-matched controls at baseline and during an oral glucose challenge (OGTT). DM1 adolescents ( = 16) and controls ( = 14) were studied before and during an OGTT. At baseline, we measured: ) large artery stiffness using both aortic augmentation index (AI) and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV); ) brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and forearm endothelial function using postischemic flow velocity (PIFV); and ) forearm muscle microvascular blood volume (MBV) using contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Following OGTT, AI, cfPWV, and MBV were reassessed at 60 min and MBV again at 120 min. Within individual and between-group, comparisons were made by paired and unpaired tests or repeated measures ANOVA. Baseline FMD was lower ( = 0.02) in DM1. PWV at 0 and 60 min did not differ between groups. Baseline AI did not differ between groups but declined with OGTT only in controls ( = 0.02) and was lower than DM1 at 60 min ( < 0.03). Baseline MBV was comparable in DM1 and control groups, but declined in DM1 at 120 min ( = 0.01) and was lower than the control group ( < 0.03). There was an inverse correlation between plasma glucose and MBV at 120 min ( = -0.523, < 0.01). No differences were noted between groups for V̇O (mL/min/kg), body fat (%), or body mass index (BMI). NO-dependent macro- and microvascular function, including FMD and AI, and microvascular perfusion, respectively, are impaired early in the course of DM1, precede increases of arterial stiffness, and may provide an early indicator of vascular risk. This is the first study to show that type 1 diabetes impairs multiple nitric oxide-dependent vascular functions.
