BACKGROUND: Insulin resistance is an early-stage deterioration of Type 2 diabetes. Identification and quantification of insulin resistance requires specific blood tests; however, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index can provide a surrogate assessment...
Type (II) diabetes is one of the major threats to mankind as it causes insulin resistance in human body and Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) is currently considered as a potential biomarker for early management of this disease. Hence a low-level dete...
An adrenal incidentaloma (AI) is an adrenal mass incidentally found via a radiological modality, independent of an endocrinological investigation. In this review, we aimed to investigate the possible reasons behind the increased frequency in AI detec...
AIM: To assess the association between high waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) levels and insulin resistance (IR) or hyperinsulinemia after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in a sample of normal-weight women.
AIMS: Recently, it was suggested that betatrophin has a role in controlling pancreatic β cell proliferation and lipid metabolism, however, its role in human subjects has not been established yet. The predicting role of betatrophin and MDA along with ...
AIM: To evaluate the association between high triglyceride/HDL-cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio and insulin resistance (IR) or hyperinsulinemia after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in normal-weight healthy adults.
AIM: To assess the association between elevated triglycerides/glucose index (TGI) and insulin resistance (IR) or hyperinsulinemia after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in a sample of healthy adults.
AIM: To evaluate the association between vitamin D deficiency and insulin resistance (IR) or hyperinsulinemia after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in euthyroid non-diabetic individuals.
