Do plasma triglycerides after oral glucose load specifically associate with metabolic risk markers in healthy type 2 diabetes offspring?
The observed increase of triglycerides after glucose load in subjects with signs of insulin resistance and obesity suggests that post-glucose triglyceride change is a potential novel biomarker for early detection of metabolic risk. The specific association of post-glucose triglyceride change with abdominal obesity and fasting glucose suggests a link to hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance.
In the Saudi Arabian population, serum HCYS is not a risk factor for CHD, but is lower in patients with DM.
