Serum soluble transferrin receptor levels are independently associated with homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance in adolescent girls

EVALUATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SERUM LEVELS OF CARCINOEMBRYONIC ANTIGEN (CEA) AND HOMEOSTASIS MODEL ASSESSMENT OF INSULIN RESISTANCE-2 (HOMA2-IR) IN COLORECTAL CANCER PATIENTS

Background & Aims: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers and one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Accounting that the risk of colorectal cancer is associated with blood sugar indices as well as the role of CEA in the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer, this study was fulfilled to determine the relationship between serum level of CEA and HOMA2-IR...

Evaluation 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...

Serum Level of Soluble CD226 Receptor in Healthy Individuals is Highly Variable and Associated with Age

association of adipokine resistin with homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance in type ii diabetes

conclusions based on these data, we can argue that circulating glucose concentration is not directly affected by serum resistin in t2dm. it seems that resistin affects glucose indirectly, through insulin resistance. results we found that serum resistin had a positive significant correlation with insulin resistance (p = 0.000, r = 0.64). no significant correlation was found between serum resisti...

A single-nucleotide polymorphism in transferrin is associated with soluble transferrin receptor levels in Chinese adolescents

Background and Objective: Associations between genetic variants in the hepcidin regulation pathway and iron status have been reported in previous studies. Most of these studies were conducted in populations of European descent and relatively few studies have been conducted in Chinese populations. In this study, we evaluated associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the hepc...
