A New Insulin Sensitivity Index Derived From Fat Mass Index and Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index [PDF]
AimObesity has recently become one of the most important health problems throughout the world. This fact led to the controversies on the clinical use of insulin sensitivity indices. Indices previously described or introduced in this study have been evaluated to choose one, which is capable of exhibiting significant distinctions between healthy children

Adequately adapted insulin secretion and decreased hepatic insulin extraction cause elevated insulin concentrations in insulin resistant non-diabetic adrenal incidentaloma patients. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Insulin-resistance is commonly found in adrenal incidentaloma (AI) patients. However, little is known about beta-cell secretion in AI, because comparisons are difficult, since beta-cell-function varies with altered insulin-sensitivity ...

Association of dietary glycemic and insulin index/load with odds of major depressive disorder: a case-control study. [PDF]
Background Dietary carbohydrate quality, reflected by glycemic index/load and insulin index/load, may influence brain function and mood through mechanisms such as glycemic fluctuations, oxidative stress, and inflammation.

Correlation of FLI fatty liver index with insulin resistance indices in patients with metabolic syndrome [PDF]
Introduction: Metabolic syndrome includes insulin resistance, visceral obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia, which together lead to an increased risk of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes mellitus. Insulin resistance is considered a

Triglyceride and glucose index for identifying abnormal insulin sensitivity in women with polycystic ovary syndrome [PDF]
Objective We aimed to evaluate whether triglyceride and glucose (TyG) indices are useful in identifying insulin sensitivity/resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Study of Correlation of Serum Thyroid Hormones with Plasma Insulin and Insulin Resistance Index in Patients of Hypothyroidism [PDF]
Introduction: Hypothyroidism, a condition of hyposecretion of T3 and T4 with high TSH is associated with hyperinsulinaemia and increased insulin resistance index due to disturbances in insulin secretion with deranged lipid profile.

Insulin Analogues for Insulin Receptor Studies and Medical Applications [PDF]
The structure of insulin molecule was determined by Dorothy Hodgkin in 1969. Subsequently, it has been established that insulin must rearrange upon binding to its receptor (Insulin Receptor – IR).
