Introduction Prevalence of insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome has been reported
to be high in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a pro …

Objective. Since insulin resistance (IR) is highly prevalent in patients with systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we aimed to determine whether …

Objective To explore glucose metabolism in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its association
with insulin resistance (IR) risk factors and disease activity indicators, including matrix …

Objective To identify factors that regulate glucose metabolism in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods We evaluated the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA‐IR) …

Objective Insulin resistance is increased by inflammation, but the mechanisms are unclear.
The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that decreased insulin sensitivity is …

Objective The aim of the study was to study insulin resistance (IR) and pancreatic b-cell
function in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) …

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by damage to
multiple systems and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, several studies …

Introduction To investigate how markers of β-cell secretion (proinsulin-processing
metabolites) are expressed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and their potential relation …

The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate insulin resistance and secretion using
homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus …
