Abstract Objective: To investigate insulin resistance (IR) with OGTT in obese adolescents who have normal fasting insulin and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Subjects: A total of 97 obese adolescents who had values of HOMA-IR 2083.5 pmol/L (300 μU/mL) in OGTT. IR risk factors were defined as family history of diabetes mellitus, acanthosis nigricans (AN), and hepatic steatosis. Results: IR was detected in 61 (62.9%) patients. The IR group had significantly more frequent AN (p=0.0001). As the number of risk factors increased, the frequency of IR also increased (p=0.01). Conclusion: We advise to perform OGTT in obese adolescents with normal HOMA-IR, if they have risk factors for IR.
