摘要
Background. The hyperinsulinimic euglycemic clamp is the gold standard to determine insulin action. In adults simpler methods to define insulin resistance (HOMA) and -sensitivity (ISI) are available. In children/adolescents HOMA and ISI were evaluated and correlated with BMI and blood pressure. Patients. 59 children/adolescents of comparable age were divided into a control group: 23 patients, the Ullrich-Turner group: 14 girls, the obese group: 22 patients. Results. HOMA increased from controls to obesity, while ISI decreased. The association between HOMA and ISI was hyperbolic with R=0.88. The correlation between HOMA and BMI and blood presure was positive and negative for ISI. In one patient the coefficient of variation for HOMA was 30% and 26% for ISI. Conclusion. It appears that in children and adolescents HOMA and ISI may be suitable methods to determine insulin action. © Springer-Verlag 2002.
