Measures of Insulin Sensitivity

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2006
Many approaches may be taken in the assessment of insulin sensitivity in humans. The euglycemic hyperinsulinemic glucose clamp and measurement of steady-state plasma glucose are direct but time- and resource-intensive approaches. Alternative approaches, including calculations based on fasting plasma insulin and glucose levels or analyses of glucose and

Insulin Sensitivity in Pregnancy

Diabetes, 1991
Quantitation of insulin sensitivity (S,) with the insulin suppression test, glucose clamp, or the minimal model method has been achieved in various clinical circumstances. The application of these techniques to pregnancy has been limited. It is important to utilize sensitive and reproducible methods to study S, changes in pregnancy to fully understand ...

Modulation of insulin signalling by insulin sensitizers

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2005
Insulin resistance is a hallmark of Type II diabetes. It is well documented that insulin sensitizers such as peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor γ agonists and aspirin improve insulin action in vivo. The detailed mechanisms by which the insulin sensitizers promote insulin signalling, however, are not completely understood and remain somewhat ...

Alcohol and insulin sensitivity

The Netherlands Journal of Medicine, 1998
Compared to heavy drinking and abstinence, a moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with lower mortality rates due to coronary heart disease. About half of the protective effect of alcohol on cardiovascular risk can be explained by its ability to raise HDL-cholesterol. Alcohol can influence HDL metabolism at more than one site.

Caffeine and Insulin Sensitivity

Metabolic Syndrome and Related Disorders, 2005
A number of reports have observed that acute caffeine ingestion decreases glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, and have raised the question whether its increased consumption throughout the world in the form of coffee and cola beverages might be of public health concern in the development of type 2 diabetes.

Insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant variants in NIDDM

Diabetes, 1989
To define the sequence of events that is involved in the pathogenesis of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), we studied 16 NIDDM individuals (15 of 16 Black patients) with a mean age of 44 yr who had been near normoglycemic for 2–91 mo while off of antidiabetic medicine.

Insulin Sensitivity in Cystic Fibrosis

Diabetes, 1994
Cystic fibrosis (CF) patients demonstrate a spectrum of pancreatic β-cell abnormalities. Those with no exocrine insufficiency (NEXO) have normal insulin secretion. Exocrine-insufficient CF patients with overt diabetes (EXO-IT) have impaired insulin secretion and fasting hyperglycemia.

Insulin sensitivity in familial hypercholesterolemia

Metabolism, 1993
Insulin resistance is found in association with obesity, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and essential hypertension, which are all risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, hyperinsulinemia has been reported in familial combined hyperlipoproteinemia and endogenous hypertriglyceridemia. Finally, relatively high serum

Familial Clustering of Insulin Sensitivity

Diabetes, 1992
This study's objective was to determine whether there is familial clustering of insulin sensitivity (SI) or insulin-independent glucose uptake (SG), which would be evidence that they are genetically determined traits. Outpatients had a 3-h intravenous glucose tolerance test.

Exercise and sensitivity to insulin

Nursing Older People, 2009
In type 2 diabetes, insulin is produced but there may be some resistance to it. Resistance is increased by obesity and lack of physical exercise, therefore lifestyle changes are important. The body is more sensitive to insulin for 24-72 hours after exercise.
