ABSTRACT
Based on the results of oral glucose tolerance test( OGTT )and the levels of 1-h plasma glucose ( 1 hPG),793 subjects were classified into three groups:583 with NGTN ( normal 1 hPG in OGTT),127 with NGT1 H( higher 1 hPG in OGTT) and 83 with IGT( impaired glucose tolerance).NGT1H group had large waist circumference,higher body mass index,fasting plasma glucose( FPG),triglyceride,and lower high density lipoprotein-cholesterol than those of NGTN group.NGT1 H group had higher homeostasis model assessment insulin index ( 1.2 ± 0.6),lower homeostasis model assessment β3 ( HOMA-β ) (4.5 ± 0.7 ) and insulinogenic index (2.1 ±0.7) than those of NGTN group(0.5 ±0.6,4.8 ±0.7,2.7 ±0.9,respectively,all P ＜0.05 ).HOMA-β of NGT1 H group was higher than that of IGT group(4.5 ±0.7 vs.4.4 ±0.6,P ＜0.05 ).The results indicate that 1 hPG in OGTT may identify a condition of glucose metabolic abnormalities characterized by insulin resistance and reduced β-cell function.
ABSTRACT
A cross-section study was designed to investigate clinical utility of lipid measures for prediction of insulin resistance(IR).A total of 793 healthy volunteers were divided to IR group or non-IR group based on the value of HOMA-IR.Area under receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)found that TG/HDL-C was more related with IR in comparison with other lipid ratios,and could be used as a measure in predicting IR.
