There are a wide range of tests to measure insulin sensitivity. Alternative techniques for estimating insulin sensitivity include measurements made during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). We aimed to describe the weekly intraindividual daily variability of measures of insulin sensitivity indexes (HOMA-IR, QUICKI, Matsuda’s insulin sensitivity index (ISIM), Insulinogenic Index, Early C Peptide, Stumvoll’s Insulin Sensitivity Index (ISIS), OGIS_120)...

The prevalence of obesity markedly increased in the last 2 decades. This have asserted researchers’ attention to the role of adipose tissue throughout the pathophysiology process of a number of diseases. Fatness, namely abdominal fat, is a risk for insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and cardiovascular disease. Physical activity is recommended as one of treatment options for individuals with T2DM. This study aimed to determine the relationship between in...

Introduction: Central obesity and the consequent metabolic syndrome have global devastating effect on the health system due to their strong association with type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disorder. There are contradictory results about the influence of insulin resistance and visceral adipose tissue on bone phenotype. The study was designed to evaluate the association between bone quality and bone mineral density (BMD) with bone marrow adipose tissue (MAT) as well ...
