In this chapter we discuss a representative variety of methods currently available for
estimating insulin sensitivity/resistance. These range from complex, time consuming, labor …

Insulin resistance contributes to the pathophysiology of diabetes and is a hallmark of
obesity, metabolic syndrome, and many cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, quantifying …

The goal of this study was to compare estimates of insulin resistance generated by the
quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) with a direct measure of insulin …

Insulin resistance (IR) is typically defined as decreased sensitivity or responsiveness to
metabolic actions of insulin. IR is a central feature of metabolic syndrome and strongly …

Insulin resistance represents a major public health problem, as it plays a major role in the
pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus; it is also associated with increased …

Insulin resistance is a common condition, recognized to be a central feature of the metabolic
syndrome, and strongly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and …

Insulin resistance plays an important role in the pathophysiology of diabetes and is
associated with obesity and other cardiovascular risk factors. The “gold standard” glucose …

Background Insulin resistance exists when a normal concentration of insulin produces a less
than normal biological response. The ability to measure insulin resistance is important in …

The article discusses how to measure insulin resistance in muscle, liver, and adipose tissue
in human participants. The most frequently used methodologies to evaluate insulin …
