Measurement of insulin resistance in vivo.

Abstract excerpt

Insulin sensitivity, which can be impaired in both glucose-intolerant and non-glucose-intolerant individuals, is a valuable parameter because of its potential as a marker for the future development of diabetes and increased cardiovascular risk. Techniques available for the determination of insulin sensitivity include the glucose clamp, insulin tolerance test, insulin suppression test, the frequently sampled...
