Efeitos de diferentes graus de sensibilidade a insulina na função endotelial de pacientes obesos

Abstract: Background: Obesity derived from intra-abdominal fat deposition tends to increase hormonal and cytokine production, thus worsening insulin sensitivity and leading to endothelial dysfunction. Hyperinsulinemia is considered an independent risk factor for ischemic heart disease and cause of endothelial dysfunction in healthy individuals.

“…In a cross-sectional study by Galvao et al. [19], obese non-diabetic subjects were divided into tertiles according to level of insulin resistance determined by HOMA-IR [19]. Results revealed a  negative correlation between HOMA-IR scores and FMD [19].…”

“…De acordo com Galvão et al (2012), a hiperinsulinemia é o fator-chave na resistência à insulina entre pacientes normoglicêmicos e não-diabéticos, sendo considerada um fator de risco independente para doenças isquêmicas do coração. A resistência à insulina é um processo lento e gradual, que pode evoluir para intolerância à glicose e DM2.…”

“…Other previous studies had suggested a relationship between endothelial function and insulin, HOMA-IR and triglycerides in obese subjects [20] but without establishing a clear causal relationship since the design of the study did not allow for comparing people with insulin-resistance versus people without insulin-resistance. Supporting our findings there is another study showing that IR and not BMI is the major determinant in the impairment of flow mediated dilation in morbid obese subjects [21].…”
