C-Peptide and insulin levels in patients of metabolic syndrome
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is cluster of physical conditions and metabolic abnormalities commonly found in association with increased risk for development of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other medical conditions.1 Definition proposed by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) 20052 is the most recent; according to which, a person is identified as having the MetS if he/she has central obesity (defined with ethnicity specific values) plus any two of the following: raised triglycerides; reduced HDL cholesterol; raised blood pressure; or raised fasting plasma glucose (Table 1 & 2). The IDF, having recognized the difficulties in identifying unified criteria for MetS that were applicable across all the ethnicities, has proposed a new set of criteria with ethnic/racial specific cut-offs.3
