Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin Sensitivity, Insulinemia, and Coronary Artery Disease The Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study
Marian Rewers,Daniel J. Zaccaro,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Steven M. Haffner,Mohammed F. Saad,Joe V. Selby,Richard N. Bergman,Peter J. Savage +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated whether low insulin sensitivity measured using a modified frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test with minimal model analysis is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) independent of other cardiovascular risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unique Effect of Visceral Fat on Insulin Sensitivity in Obese Hispanic Children With a Family History of Type 2 Diabetes
TL;DR: These findings support the hypothesis that specific accumulation of visceral fat in addition to overall adiposity in Hispanic children increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Peroxisome Poliferator–Activated Receptor-γ2 Pro12Ala Variant: Association With Type 2 Diabetes and Trait Differences
Julie A. Douglas,Michael R. Erdos,Richard M. Watanabe,Andi Braun,Cristy L. Johnston,Paul Oeth,Karen L. Mohlke,Timo T. Valle,Christian Ehnholm,Thomas A. Buchanan,Richard N. Bergman,Francis S. Collins,Michael Boehnke,Jaakko Tuomilehto,Jaakko Tuomilehto +14 more
TL;DR: A role for the PPAR-gamma2 Pro12Ala variant in the etiology of type 2 diabetes and the insulin resistance syndrome is supported and is associated with greater weight gain after age 20 years and lower triglyceride levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative fat mass (RFM) as a new estimator of whole-body fat percentage ─ A cross-sectional study in American adult individuals
TL;DR: The suggested relative fat mass (RFM) was more accurate than BMI to estimate whole-body fat percentage among women and men and improved body fat-defined obesity misclassification among American adult individuals of Mexican, European or African ethnicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transendothelial insulin transport is not saturable in vivo. No evidence for a receptor-mediated process.
TL;DR: It is concluded that insulin transport is not saturable in vivo and thus not receptor mediated, and the increase in transport efficiency with saturating insulin is likely due to an increase in diffusionary capacity resulting from capillary dilation or recruitment.
