BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) and the consequences of compensatory hyperinsulinemia are pathogenic factors for a set of metabolic abnormalities, which contribute to the development of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. We compared traditional lipid levels and ratios and combined them with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels or adiposity status for determining their efficiency as independent risk factors for IR. METHODS We enrolled 511 Taiwanese individuals for the analysis. The clinical usefulness of various parameters--such as traditional lipid levels and ratios; visceral adiposity indicators, visceral adiposity index (VAI), and lipid accumulation product (LAP); the product of triglyceride (TG) and FPG (the TyG index); TyG with adiposity status (TyG-body mass index [BMI]) and TyG-waist circumference index [WC]); and adipokine levels and ratios--was analyzed to identify IR. RESULTS For all lipid ratios, the TG/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio had the highest additional percentage of variation in the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR; 7.0% in total); for all variables of interest, TyG-BMI and leptin-adiponectin ratio (LAR) were strongly associated with HOMA-IR, with 16.6% and 23.2% of variability, respectively. A logistic regression analysis revealed similar patterns. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that TG/HDL-C was a more efficient IR discriminator than other lipid variables or ratios. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for VAI (0.734) and TyG (0.708) was larger than that for TG/HDL-C (0.707). TyG-BMI and LAR had the largest AUC (0.801 and 0.801, respectively). CONCLUSION TyG-BMI is a simple, powerful, and clinically useful surrogate marker for early identification of IR.

Triglyceride Is a Useful Surrogate Marker for Insulin Resistance in Korean Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

PURPOSE To evaluate lipid profiles and liver enzymes as surrogate markers used for recognizing insulin resistance in Korean women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). MATERIALS AND METHODS 458 women with PCOS were divided into two groups: non-obese with a body mass index (BMI)<25.0 kg/m² and obese with a BMI≥25.0 kg/m². Anthropometric measures and blood sampling for hormone assay, liver enz...

Different association of hypertension and insulin-related metabolic syndrome between men and women in 8437 nondiabetic Chinese.

Insulin resistance may cause a metabolic syndrome but whether insulin resistance causes hypertension is very controversial. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether the link between the insulin-resistance-related metabolic syndrome and hypertension is different between men and women. We examined fasting insulin, glucose, triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels, systoli...

Association of HDL/TG Ratio as an Insulin Resistance Marker with Various Levels of Fasting Blood Glucose

ABSTRACT &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Background and Objective: The association of Triglyceride/High Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio with fasting serum insulin, which is an alternative method of insulin resistance (IR) measurement, is well-recognized. Thus, the measurement of TG/HDL-C ratio is useful to determine both IR and dyslipidemia, which itself is a characte...

Fasting urine pH is independent of insulin sensitivity.

BACKGROUND It has recently been suggested that a low urine pH be added to the abnormalities linked to insulin resistance. This conclusion is based on the finding of a low urine pH in individuals with clinical syndromes associated with insulin resistance and not on studies in which a direct measure of insulin sensitivity was shown to be significantly related to differences in urine pH. OBJECTI...

Establishment of Reference Interval for Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance in Healthy Adult Males: a Pilot Study in Alexandria Governorate, Egypt

Abstract Objective: Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) is a simple and practical method for estimation of insulin resistance (IR), but a reliable reference interval (RI) of HOMA-IR is needed to deduce the threshold level to define IR. This RI has been controversial in different populations and even more divergent when considering factors like age, gender and body mass...
