Does phase angle analysis in overweight women be a surrogate marker of insulin resistance?

G Erta , G Gersone , P Tretjakovs

Background: Phase angle (PA) is defined as the angular displacement between the current and voltage waveforms due to capacitor interference, measured in degrees or radians. [1] The fat-free mass (FFM) is made up of water and electrolytes and is characterized by a low impedance, while the FM (fat mass) is water-free and, therefore, with a high impedance. The larger the FM, the higher the resistance, and this parameter affects the PA. Body mass index (BMI) is the most widely use...

Decreased cutaneous vasomotor responses in patients with insulin resistance

Tretjakovs P , Jurka A , Geldenere K , Stifts A , Aivars JI , Pirags V

Aim: To evaluate the relationship between insulin resistance and cutaneous vasomotor responses (endothelial-dependent vasodilatation and peripheral sympathetic failure: noradrenergic control of smooth muscle cells – vasoconstriction and neuropeptides induced vasodilatation) in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods and subjects: Patients with insulin resistance and MS (defined according to ‘The 2005 IDF definition of the metabolic syndro...

CUTANEOUS VASOMOTOR RESPONSE IN PATIENTS WITH MICROALBUMINURIA

Stifts A , Tretjakovs P , Martinsons A , Petersons A , Jurka A , Marga M , Pirags V

According to the hypothesis, the capillary albumin leakage parallels the degree of microalbuminuria, probably reflecting a generalized basement membrane abnormality, and relates with microvascular disfunction. The AIM of our study was to estimate postocclusive reactive hyperaemic response in patients with microalbuminuria. MATERIALS: Patients with microalbuminuria were divided into two groups: 18 patients with diabetic nephropathy (N) and 18 non-diabetic patients with glomerul...
