Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the connection between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and conditions like insulin resistance (IR) and visceral fat accumulation, aiming to identify a unifying mechanism linking these factors.
- Analysis was performed on 226 subjects using advanced methods to measure IR and visceral fat, and further validated with larger population datasets to assess the role of SUA and adiponectin in these relationships.
- Results revealed that elevated SUA mediates a reciprocal relationship between IR and visceral obesity, with adiponectin being a key linking factor; normal SUA levels may help identify individuals without cardio-metabolic issues.
Objective: To evaluate the correlation between subrogate index for the evaluation of insulin resistance with the M value obtained with the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp as well as their sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values.
Method: The euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp was performed in subjects having both normal fasting glucose and glycated hemoglobin concentrations. HOMA-IR, QUICKI, HOMA2%S, TyG, TyG*body mass index (BMI) and triglyceride/HDL indexes were calculated.
