Evaluation of simple indices of insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion for use in epidemiologic studies.

چکیده
The metabolic characteristics of type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and diminished insulin secretion are costly to measure directly. To evaluate the utility of several simple indices derived from insulin and glucose measurements, the indices were examined from 1982 to 1997 with respect to correlation with more sophisticated measures of insulin sensitivity and secretion in Pima Indians in the Gila River Indian Community of Arizona. Ability to predict the incidence of diabetes in 1,731 persons was also examined. Indices were calculated from fasting and 2-hour glucose (G0, G120) and insulin (I0, I120) concentrations obtained during an oral glucose tolerance test. Fasting serum insulin concentration and the insulin sensitivity index (10(4)/(I0 x G0)) each showed a moderate correlation with the estimate of insulin sensitivity derived from the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (absolute value r approximately 0.60). They also strongly predicted the incidence of diabetes (incidence rate ratio comparing the most and least insulin-resistant tertile groups approximately 3.0). Corrected insulin response (I120/(G120 x (G120 - 70))) was modestly correlated with insulin secretion as measured by an intravenous glucose tolerance test (r = 0.35). Impaired insulin secretion assessed by this index predicted incidence of diabetes, particularly after control for insulin sensitivity index (incidence rate ratio = 1.6). Thus, simple indices of insulin sensitivity and secretion may be reasonable surrogates for more sophisticated measures in epidemiologic studies.

The Effects of Simvastatin on Free Fatty Acids Profile in Fructose-fed Insulin Resistant Rats
Backgrounds: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic disease and free fatty acids, as signaling molecules, can play a crucial role in the development of it. Different free fatty acids, through various cell membrane receptors, induce different effects on metabolic pathways and thereby affect insulin sensitivity. Simvastatin is a cholesterol decreasing drug prescrib...

متن کاملEvaluation of Glutamate Dehydrogenase Activity and Insulin Secretion in Mice Exposed to Dexamethasone
Background and Aims: Diabetes is one of the most important endocrine disrupters and is associated with various hormones, including those that can lead to diabetes. Glucocorticoid use may lead to insulin resistance. Dexamethasone is one of these glucocorticoid compounds. Glutamate dehydrogenase plays a key role in the production of glutamate in the secretion of insulin. Based on these hormonal i...

Obesity is a main reason of type 2 diabetes and also chronic exposure to arsenic (As)can produce diabetic symptoms. In previous studies, the association between high-fat dietand arsenic in the incidence of diabetes was found, but the role of beta cells activity, livermitochondrial oxidative stress, and hepatic enzymes (leptin, adiponectin and beta amylase)was unclear. Thus, present study was co...
