Abstract:Objective:The risk of gallstones is increased in fatty liver, overweight, and metabolic syndrome. The hyperinsulinemiceuglycemic clamp method is considered the best method for insulin resistance (IR); but it is a time consuming and expensive procedure.

Methods:The TyG was investigated in our study with 1484 pat… Show more
