Objective: Different methods are used to identify individuals with insulin resistance. The gold standard is the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp. However, in clinical practice, clamp is not preferred because it is cumbersome, the HOMA-IR index is used more often. The Trigliserid-glucose (TyG) index is a new and practical way to identify individuals with insulin resistance (IR). When compared to HOMA-IR, this index has been shown to be more reliable in determining insulin resi...

Metabolic syndrome is an important health problem that has been shown to be associated with cardiovascular disease and mortality. Recent studies have shown the importance of inflammation in visceral fat tissue. Macrophage apoptosis inhibitor (AIM) and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP-1) are molecules that cause migrating to visceral fat tissue of M1 macrophages that initiate adipocyte inflammation. The aim of this study is to understand the role of these molecules in the path...
