INSULIN RESISTANCE, INSULIN RESISTANCE
Concentrations of fasting serum glucose (FSG), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were determined by enzymatic methods (all from Pars-Azmoon, Tehran, Iran) using an auto-analyzer (Selecta E; Vitalab, Holliston, Netherlands). Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was evaluated using enzymatic method (Pishtaz Teb, Tehran, Iran). Insulin resistance was evaluated using homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) [
