Summary Microalbuminuria is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate whether microalbuminuria is part of a cluster of risk factors, the insulin resistance syndrome (IRS), or whether it is only associated with, and presumably a complication of, hypertension and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). An age-, sex- and glucose tolerance-stratified...
AbstractAims/hypothesis. Information on the association of hyperinsulinaemia with coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes is limited and controversial. Therefore, we carried out a prospective study to examine the predictive value of fasting plasma insulin and hyperinsulinaemia cluster with regard to the risk of CHD mortality.Methods. At baseline risk...
Aims/hypothesis. Hypertriglyceridaemia is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease, especially in the context of the insulin resistance syndrome where it often occurs with hypertension. The two phenotypes are also associated in the hereditary hypertriglyceridaemic (hHTg) rat. The aim of this study was to map quantitative trait loci that affect plasma triglyceride concentration in the hHTg...
