Determinación de la sensibilidad insulinica por el Modelo Matemático de Homeostásis Modelo Assessment (HOMA) en pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 e hipertensos

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: "In diabetic patients atherosclerosis occurs early and with greater severity, so that the evaluation of the parameters which may interact in this process, are of importance. Many methods have been used to evaluate the insulin resistance, such as the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, however this method is costly and impractical for poblational studies, thus new alternatives to estimate insulin resistance has been developed such as the mathematical method named Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA). The present study was conducted with the aim to establish reference values for insulin resistance through HOMA in subjects, healthy9, diabetic9 and hypertensive9. We found that the indexes were significantly increased in diabetic subjects and hypertensive which allow us to evaluate in simple and rapid way the insulin resistance in poblational studies."
