Ref.	Study design	Participants	Main results
Mahfoud et al[14]	Prospective, controlled unblinded, randomized study	50 patients with resistant HTN (37 patients underwent catheter-based RDN and 13 patients in a control group	RDN improved glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in addition to a significantly reducing blood pressure
Witkowski et al[65]	Prospective, nonrandomized, open-label study	10 patients with refractory hypertension and sleep apnea (7 men and 3 women, who underwent RDN)	RDN reduced blood pressure and improved glucose metabolism
