Raised plasma insulin level and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) score in cerebral malaria: evidence for insulin resistance and marker of virulence.
OBJECTIVE To study the glycaemic profile of patients with severe malaria (SM). METHODS For this purpose, 110 SM patients were recruited. Pre-treatment random blood glucose and plasma insulin were measured in a subset of donors. An ex-vivo experiment was developed for estimation of glucose consumption by parasitized erythrocytes. RESULTS Hyperglycaemia was frequent in SM but more commonly as...
متن کاملHomeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) in the Diagnosis of Insulin Resistance and Prediabetes
Type 2 diabetes mellitus consists of metabolic disturbances characterised mainly characterized by hyperglycemia which usually result from the combination of resistance to insulin action, inadequate insulin secretion, and excessive or inappropriate glucagon secretion. In clinical practice its very difficult to establish how much part of this metabolic disturbances is due to lack of insulin and h...

متن کاملAssessment of Insulin Resistance with Two Methods: HOMA-IR and TyG Index in Iranian Obese Women
Objective: The aim of the present study is assessment of insulin resistance (IR) in obese women by TyG-Index and compared with the HOMA-IR index. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 61 obese women aged 18-45 years. Weights, height, waist circumference (WC) were measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated and recorded. A sample of fasting serum was collecte...
متن کاملEvaluation of insulin resistance in Turkish girls with premature pubarche using the homeostasis assessment (HOMA) model.
Premature pubarche can be benign, or it can be an early marker of insulin resistance in some girls. The aim of this study was to evaluate insulin resistance in prepubertal girls presenting with premature pubarche (n = 19; mean age = 6.93 +/- 1.78) as compared to age- and Tanner stage-matched controls (n = 10; mean age = 7.55 +/- 1.32) using indirect insulin resistance parameters. Two groups wer...
