GLUCOSE METABOLISM AND INSULIN RESISTANCE IN ASIAN INDIANS

据报道，来自中国的亚裔印度移民患冠心病的几率很高。 世界各国。胰岛素抵抗是一种常见的 NIDDM的发病机制与低高密度脂蛋白-胆固醇水平 作为冠心病的危险因素起着重要作用。这项研究评估了 糖代谢/胰岛素抵抗&与年龄和BMI的比较 和高加索人匹配。胰岛素水平与血糖值的关系 抵抗力和身体脂肪和腹内脂肪的总百分比也会 进行研究，并对两组的结果进行比较。

High rates of CHD have been reported in migrant Asian Indians from various countries of the world. Insulin resistance can be a common pathogenetic mechanism for NIDDM & low levels of HDL-cholesterol & may play an important role as a risk factor for CHD. This study assesses glucose metabolism/insulin resistance & compares it with age and BMI matched caucasians. The relationship between the degree of insulin resistance and total percent body fat and intra-abdominal fat will also be studied and results will be compared in both groups.
