Altered glucose metabolism negatively modulates outcome in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Insulin resistance is commonly associated with increasing BMI in the general population and these associations may involve obesity‐related changes in circulating ghrelin and adipokines. We aimed at investigating interactions between BMI, insulin resistance and ACS and their associations with plasma ghrelin and adipokine concentrations. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR)‐insulin resistance index, plasma adiponectin, leptin, total (T‐Ghrelin), acylated (Acyl‐Ghrelin), and desacylated ghrelin (Desacyl‐Ghrelin) were measured in 60 nondiabetic ACS patients and 44 subjects without ACS matched for age, sex, and BMI. Compared with non‐ACS, ACS patients had similar HOMAIR and plasma adipokines, but lower T‐ and Desacyl‐Ghrelin and higher Acyl‐Ghrelin. Obesity (BMI > 30) was associated with higher HOMAIR, lower adiponectin, and higher leptin (P < 0.05) similarly in ACS and non‐ACS subjects. In ACS (n = 60) HOMAIR remained associated negatively with adiponectin and positively with leptin independently of BMI and c‐reactive protein (CRP) (P < 0.05). On the other hand, low T‐ and Desacyl‐Ghrelin with high Acyl‐Ghrelin characterized both obese and non‐obese ACS patients and were not associated with HOMAIR. In conclusion, in ACS patients, obesity and obesity‐related changes in plasma leptin and adiponectin are associated with and likely contribute to negatively modulate insulin resistance. ACS per se does not however enhance the negative impact of obesity on insulin sensitivity. High acylated and low desacylated ghrelin characterize ACS patients independently of obesity, but are not associated with insulin sensitivity.  相似文献

Although obesity is associated with insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome (MetS), some obese individuals are metabolically healthy. Conversely, some lean individuals are insulin resistant (IR) and at increased cardiometabolic risk. To determine the relative importance of insulin sensitivity, BMI and waist circumference (WC) in predicting MetS, we studied these two extreme groups in a high‐risk population. One thousand seven hundred and sixty six subjects with a first‐degree relative with type 2 diabetes were stratified by BMI and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR) into groups. IR groups had higher triglycerides, fasting glucose, and more diabetes than their BMI‐group insulin sensitive (IS) counterparts. Within both IS and IR groups, obesity was associated with higher HOMAIR and diastolic blood pressure (BP), but no difference in other metabolic variables. MetS (Adult Treatment Panel III (ATPIII)) prevalence was higher in IR groups (P < 0.001) and more subjects met each MetS criterion (P < 0.001). Within each BMI category, HOMAIR independently predicted MetS (P < 0.001) whereas WC did not. Within IS and IR groups, age and WC, but not BMI, were independent determinants of MetS (P < 0.001). WC was a less meaningful predictor of MetS at higher values of HOMAIR. HOMAIR was a better predictor of MetS than WC or BMI (receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under the curve 0.76 vs. 0.65 vs. 0.59, P < 0.001). In conclusion, insulin sensitivity rather than obesity is the major predictor of MetS and is better than WC at identifying obese individuals with a healthier metabolic profile. Further, as many lean individuals with a first‐degree relative with type 2 diabetes are IR and metabolically unhealthy, they may all benefit from metabolic testing.  相似文献

Patients with craniopharyngioma (CP), an embryological tumor located in the hypothalamic and/or pituitary region, often suffer from uncontrolled eating and severe obesity. We aimed to compare peripherally secreted hormones involved in controlling food intake in normal weight and obese children and adolescents with CP vs. controls. Plasma insulin, glucose, total ghrelin, and peptide‐YY (PYY) levels were assessed under fasting conditions as well as 60 min after liquid mixed meal in four groups: Normal weight (n = 12) and obese (n = 15) CP patients, and 12 normal weight and 15 obese otherwise healthy BMI‐, gender‐ and age‐matched controls. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR), as well as quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) were calculated. Obese CP subjects had significantly higher HOMAIR, higher baseline and postmeal insulin but lower ghrelin levels, weaker postmeal changes for PYY, and lower QUICKI compared to obese controls. QUICKI data from all CP patients correlated positively with ghrelin and PYY % postmeal changes (ghrelin: r = 0.38, P = 0.023; PYY r = 0.40, P = 0.017) and negatively with standard deviation score‐BMI (SDS‐BMI: r = ?0.49, P = 0.002). Tumor growth of 87% obese and 58% of normal weight CP patients affected the hypothalamic area which was associated with higher SDS‐BMI and weaker % postmeal ghrelin changes (P = 0.014) compared to CP patients without hypothalamic tumor involvement. Blunted postmeal ghrelin and PYY responses in obese CP subjects are likely due to their higher degree of insulin resistance and lower insulin sensitivity compared to matched obese controls. Thus, insulin resistance in CP patients seems to affect eating behavior by affecting meal responses of gut peptides.  相似文献

Minor allele A of single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 11391 G/A of ADIPOQ gene (rs17300539) has been consistently associated with higher adiponectin levels in adults and children. The aim of this study was to investigate the metabolic role of this variant in a large cohort of children of European origin. A total of 1,852 children from two general populations in Verona and in Fleurbaix–Laventie and from the Lille childhood obesity cohort, were genotyped and pooled together after checking for the absence of genetic heterogeneity for rs17300539 between Italian and French children. The genotype of rs17300539 was studied in relation to circulating adiponectin levels, BMI, fasting plasma glucose, fasting serum insulin (FSI), insulin resistance index (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR)), high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides. After adjustment for known confounders, rs17300539 GA+AA carriers had 1.6 µg/ml higher adiponectin levels (P = 6 × 10?8) than GG carriers. They also showed higher BMI (B = 0.97, P = 0.015) and higher prevalence of obesity (OR = 1.35 (1.06–1.85), P = 0.015) than GG carriers. Before adjusting for obesity status, GA+AA carriers had higher FSI (B = 1.10, P = 0.040) and higher HOMAIR (B = 0.31, P = 0.020) than GG carriers. After adjustment for obesity status, they did not differ from GG carriers for any metabolic parameter, either among obese or nonobese children. The rs17300539‐A variant, though consistently associated with higher adiponectin levels, does not exert any appreciable protective metabolic effect in children, either in the presence or absence of obesity. In contrast, this SNP may increase the risk for childhood obesity and related insulin resistance.  相似文献

Objective: The aim of our study was to examine whether plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1) plasma levels varied as a function of differences in glucose tolerance status independently of body fatness, body‐fat distribution, and insulin sensitivity. Research Methods and Procedures: Plasma PAI‐1 antigen levels, along with insulin resistance [measured by homeostatic model assessment (HOMAIR)], central fat accumulation, body composition, blood pressure, and fasting concentrations of glucose, insulin, and lipids, were measured in 229 overweight and obese [body mass index (BMI) ≥25 kg/m2) subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and in 44 age‐ and BMI‐matched subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Results: Plasma PAI‐1 antigen levels were significantly higher in IGT than in NGT subjects. Log PAI‐1 was positively correlated with BMI, HOMAIR, and log insulin, and inversely associated with high‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol both in IGT and in NGT individuals. On the other hand, log PAI‐1 was positively correlated with waist circumference, fat mass (FM), fat‐free mass, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and log triglycerides only in the NGT group. After multivariate analyses, the strongest determinants of PAI‐1 levels were BMI, FM, waist circumference, and high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol in the NGT group and only HOMAIR in the IGT cohort. Discussion: This study demonstrates that PAI‐1 concentrations are higher in IGT than in NGT subjects. Furthermore, we suggest that the influences of total adiposity, central fat, and insulin resistance, main determinants of PAI‐1 concentrations, are different according to the degree of glucose tolerance.  相似文献

Steatosis in obese nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients is a clinicopathological condition associated with depletion of n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), a feature that may be related to PUFA desaturation. Liver Δ‐6 and Δ‐5 desaturase (Δ‐6D and Δ‐5D) activities, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR), and ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) were evaluated in 13 obese patients who underwent subtotal gastrectomy with gastro‐jejunal anastomosis in Roux‐en‐Y and 15 nonobese patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (controls). Liver Δ‐6D and Δ‐5D activities in obese patients were 87% and 66% lower than controls (P < 0.001), respectively, with a 62% diminution in the Δ‐6D/Δ‐5D activity ratio (P < 0.02). Δ‐6D inversely correlated with both HOMAIR (r = ?0.70, P < 0.0001) and oxidative stress assessed as the reciprocal value of FRAP (r = ?0.40, P < 0.05). Δ‐5D negatively correlated with HOMAIR (r = ?0.48, P < 0.01) but not with FRAP?1 (r = ?0.13, not significant). In conclusion, liver PUFA desaturation is diminished in obese NAFLD patients, in association with underlying insulin resistance and oxidative stress, which may play a role in altering lipid metabolism favoring fatty infiltration.  相似文献

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are endocrine‐disrupting chemicals associated with the development of the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. In humans, little is known about their role in the potential origin of obesity. This study aims to assess the associations between serum levels of POPs and the prevalence of obesity in a cohort of obese and lean adult men and women. POP serum samples were investigated cross‐sectionally in 98 obese and 47 lean participants, aged ≥18 years. Serum samples were analyzed for the presence of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners 153, 138, 180, and 170 and for the organochlorine pesticides, dichloro‐diphenyl‐dichloroethylene (pp‐DDE), and β‐hexachlorocyclohexane (βHCH). We established a significant negative correlation between BMI, waist, fat mass percentage, total and subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue, and serum levels of PCB 153, 180, 170, and the sumPCBs. For βHCH, we demonstrated a positive correlation with BMI, waist, fat mass percentage, and total and subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue. PCBs 180, 170, and the sum of PCBs correlated significantly negative with homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMAIR). βHCH correlated significantly positively with HOMAIR. A strong correlation was established between all POP serum levels and age. We established a positive relationship between high serum levels of βHCH and BMI and HOMAIR, whereas serum PCB levels were inversely correlated with BMI and HOMAIR. Combined, these results suggest that the diabetogenic effect of low‐dose exposure to POPs might be more complicated than a simple obesogenic effect.  相似文献

Visceral adipose tissue‐derived serpin (vaspin) has been regarded as a novel adipokine with potential insulin sensitizing properties. We investigated the changes of serum vaspin concentration in response to weight reduction, and the associations between changes in serum vaspin concentrations and changes of anthropometric and metabolic variables in obese subjects after weight reduction. We performed a longitudinal clinical intervention study on 63 obese persons enrolled in a 12‐week weight reduction program that included lifestyle modification and adjuvant treatment with the antiobesity agent orlistat. Anthropometric variables, lipid profiles, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and serum vaspin concentrations were measured. Statistical analyses were performed according to the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR). Serum vaspin concentrations decreased significantly in responders (≥2% reduction in baseline weight), but not in nonresponders (<2% reduction in baseline weight). Changes in serum vaspin concentrations were significantly correlated with body weight, BMI, waist circumference, and hip circumference in the higher, but not in the lower, HOMAIR group. In multivariate linear regression analysis, change in serum vaspin concentrations in the higher, but not in the lower, HOMAIR group was positively correlated with change in BMI and negatively correlated with initial HOMAIR level. The associations between changes in serum vaspin concentrations and changes in anthropometric and metabolic parameters differed according to insulin resistance status in obese subjects. These relationships were more prominent in the higher HOMAIR group. Insulin resistance may influence the correlations between changes in serum vaspin concentration and related metabolic variables.  相似文献

The rise in obesity‐related morbidity in children and adolescents requires urgent prevention and treatment strategies. Currently, only limited data are available on the effects of exercise programs on insulin resistance, and visceral, hepatic, and intramyocellular fat accumulation. We hypothesized that a 12‐week controlled aerobic exercise program without weight loss reduces visceral, hepatic, and intramyocellular fat content and decreases insulin resistance in sedentary Hispanic adolescents. Twenty‐nine postpubertal (Tanner stage IV and V), Hispanic adolescents, 15 obese (7 boys, 8 girls; 15.6 ± 0.4 years; 33.7 ± 1.1 kg/m2; 38.3 ± 1.5% body fat) and 14 lean (10 boys, 4 girls; 15.1 ± 0.3 years; 20.6 ± 0.8 kg/m2; 18.9 ± 1.5% body fat), completed a 12‐week aerobic exercise program (4 × 30 min/week at ≥70% of peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak)). Measurements of cardiovascular fitness, visceral, hepatic, and intramyocellular fat content (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)), and insulin resistance were obtained at baseline and postexercise. In both groups, fitness increased (obese: 13 ± 2%, lean: 16 ± 4%; both P < 0.01). In obese participants, intramyocellular fat remained unchanged, whereas hepatic fat content decreased from 8.9 ± 3.2 to 5.6 ± 1.8%; P < 0.05 and visceral fat content from 54.7 ± 6.0 to 49.6 ± 5.5 cm2; P < 0.05. Insulin resistance decreased indicated by decreased fasting insulin (21.8 ± 2.7 to 18.2 ± 2.4 µU/ml; P < 0.01) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR) (4.9 ± 0.7 to 4.1 ± 0.6; P < 0.01). The decrease in visceral fat correlated with the decrease in fasting insulin (R2 = 0.40; P < 0.05). No significant changes were observed in any parameter in lean participants except a small increase in lean body mass (LBM). Thus, a controlled aerobic exercise program, without weight loss, reduced hepatic and visceral fat accumulation, and decreased insulin resistance in obese adolescents.  相似文献

Pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) is positively associated with fatty liver and obesity‐related insulin resistance. Because PAT is a well‐known marker of visceral adiposity, we investigated the impact of weight loss on PAT and its relationship with liver fat and insulin sensitivity independently of body fat distribution. Thirty overweight nondiabetic women (BMI 28.2–46.8 kg/m2, 22–41 years) followed a 14.2 ± 4‐weeks low‐calorie diet. PAT, abdominal subcutaneous (SAT), and visceral fat volumes (VAT) were measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), total fat mass, trunk, and leg fat by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry and intrahepatocellular lipids (IHCL) by (1)H‐magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp (M) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR) were used to assess insulin sensitivity or insulin resistance. At baseline, PAT correlated with VAT (r = 0.82; P < 0.001), IHCL (r = 0.46), HOMAIR (r = 0.46), and M value (r = ?0.40; all P < 0.05). During intervention, body weight decreased by ?8.5%, accompanied by decreases of ?12% PAT, ?13% VAT, ?44% IHCL, ?10% HOMA2‐%B, and +24% as well as +15% increases in HOMA2‐%S and M, respectively. Decreases in PAT were only correlated with baseline PAT and the loss in VAT (r = ?0.56; P < 0.01; r = 0.42; P < 0.05) but no associations with liver fat or indexes of insulin sensitivity were observed. Improvements in HOMAIR and HOMA2‐%B were only related to the decrease in IHCL (r = 0.62, P < 0.01; r = 0.65, P = 0.002) and decreases in IHCL only correlated with the decrease in VAT (r = 0.61, P = 0.004). In conclusion, cross‐sectionally PAT is correlated with VAT, liver fat, and insulin resistance. Longitudinally, the association between PAT and insulin resistance was lost suggesting no causal relationship between the two.  相似文献

Insulin resistance is linked to general and abdominal obesity, but its relation to hepatic lipid content and pericardial adipose tissue is less clear. The purpose of this study was to examine cross‐sectional associations of liver attenuation, pericardial adipose tissue, BMI, and waist circumference with insulin resistance. We measured liver attenuation and pericardial adipose tissue using the existing cardiac computed tomography scans in 5,291 individuals free of clinical cardiovascular disease and diabetes in the Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) during the study's baseline visit (2000–2002). Low liver attenuation was defined as the lowest quartile and high pericardial adipose tissue as the upper quartile of volume (cm3). We used standard clinical definitions for obesity and abdominal obesity. Insulin resistance was assessed by the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR) index. In multivariate linear regression with all adiposity measures in the model simultaneously, all adiposity measures were significantly (P < 0.0001) associated with insulin resistance: regression coefficients (±s.e.) were 0.31 (±0.02) for low liver attenuation, 0.27 (±0.02) for high pericardial adipose tissue, 0.27 (±0.02) for obesity, and 0.32 (±0.02) for abdominal obesity. We found significant differences (P = 0.003) between standardized liver attenuation and insulin resistance by ethnicity: regression coefficients per 1 s.d. increment were 0.10 ± 0.01 for whites, 0.11 ± 0.02 for Chinese, 0.08 ± 0.2 for blacks, and 0.14 ± 0.01 for Hispanics. Liver attenuation and pericardial adipose tissue were associated with insulin resistance, independent of BMI and waist circumference.  相似文献

Objective: To evaluate the effect of a first‐degree family history of type 2 diabetes on white blood cell (WBC) count, a risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease, in glucose‐tolerant adult women Research Methods and Procedures: WBC count was measured in 174 normal weight, overweight, and obese female offspring of type 2 diabetic patients (FH+) and 174 age‐ and BMI‐matched female controls with no family history of type 2 diabetes (FH?). Other measurements included fat mass (FM), measured by body impedance analysis; central fat accumulation, evaluated by waist circumference; insulin resistance, estimated by homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMAIR); systolic and diastolic blood pressure; and fasting concentrations of glucose, insulin, and lipids. Results: WBC count, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, and fasting levels of glucose, insulin, and triglycerides were significantly higher in FH+ than in FH? subjects. In FH+ individuals, WBC count was positively associated with BMI, FM, waist circumference, HOMAIR, and triglyceride and insulin concentrations, and negatively correlated with age and high‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol. In FH? subjects, WBC count was directly associated with BMI, FM, waist circumference, and triglyceride and insulin concentrations, and inversely correlated with age and high‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol. After multivariate analyses, WBC count maintained a significant association with age, systolic blood pressure, and HOMAIR in FH+ subjects and with age, BMI, FM, and triglycerides in FH? individuals. Discussion: This study indicates that WBC count is increased in adult women with genetic predisposition to type 2 diabetes, and its main correlates are insulin resistance in FH+ and adiposity in FH? individuals.  相似文献

Ceramides (Cer) are implicated in obesity‐associated skeletal muscle and perhaps adipocyte insulin resistance. We examined whether the sphingolipid content of human subcutaneous adipose tissue and plasma varies by obesity and sex as well as the relationship between ceramide content and metabolic indices. Abdominal subcutaneous adipose biopsies were performed on 12 lean adults (males = 6), 12 obese adults (males = 6) for measurement of sphingolipid content and activity of the main ceramide metabolism enzymes. Blood was sampled for glucose, insulin (to calculate homeostasis model assessment‐estimated insulin resistance (HOMAIR)) adiponectin, and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) concentrations. Compared to lean controls, total ceramide content (pg/adipocyte) was increased by 31% (P < 0.05) and 34% (P < 0.05) in obese females and males, respectively. In adipocytes from obese adults sphingosine, sphinganine, sphingosine‐1‐phosphate, C14‐Cer, C16‐Cer, and C24‐Cer were all increased. C18:1‐Cer was increased in obese males and C24:1‐Cer in obese females. For women only, there was a negative correlation between C16‐Cer ceramide and plasma adiponectin (r = ?0.77, P = 0.003) and a positive correlation between total ceramide content and HOMAIR (r = 0.74, P = 0.006). For men only there were significant (at least P < 0.05), positive correlations between adipocyte Cer‐containing saturated fatty acid and plasma IL‐6 concentration. We conclude that the sexual dimorphism in adipose tissue behavior in humans extends to adipose tissue sphingolipid content its association with adiponectin, IL‐6 and insulin resistance.  相似文献

Recent studies have shown that fat accumulation is associated with insulin resistance; however, the risks associated with long‐term changes and fluctuations in central fatness are less clear. This study examined the longitudinal relationship between waist circumference (WC) and insulin resistance using three dimensions of WC: baseline WC, slope of linear changes in WC, and fluctuation of WC around the slope during 20 years of follow‐up. Anthropometry, insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment (HOMAIR)), and lifestyle factors were obtained in a population‐based, prospective observational study (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA)) during 1985–2006, excluding participants who had been diagnosed with diabetes at any examination. After adjusting for socio‐demographic and lifestyle factors, the evolution of HOMAIR from CARDIA year 15 to 20 was 6.9% higher per standard deviation of year 0 WC (P trend <0.0001) and 6.3% higher per standard deviation increase in the change in WC over the long term (P trend <0.0001). However, WC fluctuations around the linear change were not associated with insulin resistance or its evolution. The level of HOMAIR increased substantially with steeper linear WC slope among initially thinner participants at baseline, whereas this association tended to be weaker in those with higher initial WC (P interaction <0.0001). We conclude that year 0 WC and long‐term increment in WC are associated with worsening insulin resistance. However, the association of HOMAIR with slope of WC change may vary across the range of initial WC.  相似文献

Objective:

Epidemiologic studies that control for potential confounders are needed to assess the independent associations of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with metabolic abnormalities. The aim of our study was to evaluate the associations of OSA with metabolic abnormalities among the adult population of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Design and Methods:

Questionnaires were applied face‐to‐face, full night polysomnography (PSG) was performed, and blood samples were collected in a population‐based survey in Sao Paulo, Brazil, adopting a probabilistic three‐stage cluster sample method. The metabolic profile included fasting glucose, insulin, and lipid levels. The hepatic insulin resistance index was assessed by the homeostasis model assessment‐estimated insulin resistance (HOMAIR).

Results:

A total of 1,042 volunteers underwent PSG. Mild OSA and moderate to severe OSA comprised 21.2% and 16.7% of the population, respectively. Subjects with severe to moderate OSA were older, more obese, had higher fasting glucose, HOMAIR, and triglycerides (TG) levels than did the mild and non‐OSA group (P < 0.001). Multivariate regression analyses showed that an apnea‐hypopnea index (AHI) ≥15 and a time of oxy‐hemoglobin saturation <90% were independently associated with impaired fasting glucose, elevated TG, and HOMAIR.

Conclusions:

The results of this large cross‐sectional epidemiological study showed that the associations of OSA and metabolic abnormalities were independent of other risk factors.  相似文献

A timely diagnosis of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is desirable in obesity. The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), the gold standard to diagnose this condition, may not be realistically performed in all patients due to discomfort, labor, and cost. The aim of this study was to assess whether one or more biochemical indexes measured in fasting conditions could be used to identify obese children at risk of IGT. A cohort of 563 white obese children and adolescents (M/F: 315/248; aged 4–17 years) was recruited and underwent anthropometric evaluation and OGTT. Anthropometric parameters, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting serum insulin (FSI), and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR) were tested in pursuit of a possible threshold to be used as a predictor of IGT. Thirty‐seven children (6.9%) had IGT and one child (0.1%) had type 2 diabetes (T2D). FPG, FSI, and HOMAIR were all significantly higher in children with IGT than in children without IGT. Receiver‐operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses run for gender and puberty‐adjusted FPG, FSI, and HOMAIR were all significant: area under the curve (95% confidence interval) equaled 0.68 (0.59–0.76), 0.66 (0.56–0.76), and 0.68 (0.59–0.78), respectively. The three parameters did not show significantly different sensitivity/specificity in the pooled population or in the gender/puberty subgroups. Thresholds varied among gender/puberty subgroups for FSI and HOMAIR, but not for FPG, which showed a fixed threshold of 86 mg/dl. A gender/puberty independent cutoff of FPG may be considered a screening tool to narrow clinical indication to OGTT in obese white children and adolescents.  相似文献

Insulin resistance is associated with central obesity and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Our objective is to examine the association between abdominal subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and insulin resistance, to determine which fat depot is a stronger correlate of insulin resistance, and to assess whether there was an interaction between SAT, VAT, and age, sex, or BMI. Participants without diabetes from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS), who underwent multidetector computed tomography to assess SAT and VAT (n = 3,093; 48% women; mean age 50.4 years; mean BMI 27.6 kg/m2), were evaluated. Insulin resistance was measured using the homeostasis model and defined as HOMAIR ≥75th percentile. Logistic regression models, adjusted for age, sex, smoking, alcohol, menopausal status, and hormone replacement therapy use, were used to assess the association between fat measures and insulin resistance. The odds ratio (OR) for insulin resistance per standard deviation increase in SAT was 2.5 (95% confidence interval (CI): 2.2–2.7; P < 0.0001), whereas the OR for insulin resistance per standard deviation increase in VAT was 3.5 (95% CI: 3.1–3.9; P < 0.0001). Overall, VAT was a stronger correlate of insulin resistance than SAT (P < 0.0001 for SAT vs. VAT comparison). After adjustment for BMI, the OR of insulin resistance for VAT was 2.2 (95% CI: 1.9–2.5; P < 0.0001). We observed an interaction between VAT and BMI for insulin (P interaction = 0.0004), proinsulin (P interaction = 0.003), and HOMAIR (P interaction = 0.003), where VAT had a stronger association in obese individuals. In conclusion, SAT and VAT are both correlates of insulin resistance; however, VAT is a stronger correlate of insulin resistance than SAT.  相似文献

Several research studies in different populations indicate that inflammation may be the link between obesity and insulin resistance (IR). However, this relationship has not been adequately explored among African Americans, an ethnic group with disproportionately high rates of obesity and IR. In this study, we conducted a comparative study of the relationship among adiposity, inflammation, and IR in African Americans and West Africans, the ancestral source population for African Americans. The associations between obesity markers (BMI and waist‐to‐hip ratio (WHR)), inflammatory markers (high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hsCRP), haptoglobin, interleukin (IL)‐6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α), and IR (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMAIR)) were evaluated in 247 West Africans and 315 African Americans. In average, African Americans were heavier than the West Africans (by an average of 1.6 BMI units for women and 3 BMI units for men). Plasma hsCRP, haptoglobin, and IL‐6 (but not TNF‐α level) were higher in African Americans than in West Africans. In both populations, BMI was associated with markers of inflammation and with HOMAIR, and these associations remained significant after adjusting for sex and age. However, the pattern of associations between measured inflammatory markers and IR was different between the two groups. In West Africans, hsCRP was the only inflammatory marker associated with IR. In contrast, hsCRP, haptoglobin, and IL‐6 were all associated with IR in African Americans. Interestingly, none of the associations between markers of inflammation and IR remained significant after adjusting for BMI. This finding suggests that in African Americans, the relationship between inflammatory markers and IR is mediated by adiposity.  相似文献

Objective: Insulin resistance in obese subjects results in the impaired use of glucose by insulin‐sensitive tissues, e.g., skeletal muscle. In the present study, we determined whether insulin resistance in obesity is associated with an impaired ability of exercise to stimulate muscle blood flow, oxygen delivery, or glucose uptake. Research Methods and Procedures: Nine obese (body mass index = 36 ± 2 kg/m2) and 11 age‐matched nonobese men (body mass index = 22 ± 1 kg/m2) performed one‐legged isometric exercise during hyperinsulinemia. Rates of femoral muscle blood flow, oxygen consumption, and glucose uptake were measured simultaneously in both legs using [15O]H2O, [15O]O2, [18F]fluoro‐deoxy‐glucose, and positron emission tomography. Results: The obese subjects exhibited resistance to insulin stimulation of glucose uptake in resting muscle, regardless of whether glucose uptake was expressed per kilogram of femoral muscle mass (p = 0.001) or per the total mass of quadriceps femoris muscle. At similar workloads, oxygen consumption, blood flow, and glucose uptake were lower in the obese than the nonobese subjects when expressed per kilogram of muscle, but similar when expressed per quadriceps femoris muscle mass. Discussion: We conclude that obesity is characterized by insulin resistance of glucose uptake in resting skeletal muscle regardless of how glucose uptake is expressed. When compared with nonobese individuals at similar absolute workloads and under identical hyperinsulinemic conditions, the ability of exercise to increase muscle oxygen uptake, blood flow, and glucose uptake per muscle mass is blunted in obese insulin‐resistant subjects. However, these defects are compensated for by an increase in muscle mass.  相似文献

Objective: A positive correlation between levels of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and insulin sensitivity has been shown in healthy subjects. We aimed to test the hypothesis that concentration of 25(OH)D influences insulin sensitivity in obesity before and after weight loss. Research Methods and Procedures: We investigated the relation between serum 25(OH)D and insulin sensitivity (estimated by euglycemic‐hyperinsulinemic clamp) in 116 obese women (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) evaluated before and 5 and 10 years after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD). Body composition was estimated by the isotope dilution method. Results: Prevalence of hypovitaminosis D was 76% in the obese status and 91% and 89% at 5 and 10 years after BPD, respectively, despite ergocalciferol supplementation. 25(OH)D concentration decreased from 39.2 ± 22.3 in obesity (p = 0.0001) to 27.4 ± 16.4 and 25.1 ± 13.9 nM 5 and 10 years after BPD, respectively. Whole‐body glucose uptake increased from 24.27 ± 4.44 at the baseline to 57.29 ± 11.56 and 57.71 ± 8.41 μmol/kgfat free mass per minute 5 and 10 years after BPD, respectively (p = 0.0001). Predictor of 25(OH)D was fat mass (R2 = 0.26, p = 0.0001 in obesity; R2 = 0.20, p = 0.02 after BPD). Parathormone correlated with fat mass (R2 = 0.19; p = 0.0001) and BMI (R2 = 0.053; p = 0.01) and inversely with M value (R2 = 0.16; p = 0.0001), but only in obese subjects. Discussion: A high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D was observed in morbid obesity both before and after BPD. Low 25(OH)D did not necessarily imply increased insulin resistance after BPD, a condition where, probably, more powerful determinants of insulin sensitivity overcome the low circulating 25(OH)D levels. However, the present data cannot exclude some kind of influence of vitamin D status on glucose and insulin metabolism.  相似文献
