	Assessing Insulin Sensitivity
		Normal insulin sensitivity varies widely and is influenced by age, ethnicity, and obesity.
		The gold standard for evaluating insulin sensitivity, this "clamp" technique requires a steady IV infusion of insulin to be administered in one arm.
		Remember that insulin sensitivity is the ability of the hormone to reduce serum glucose.

	Insulin resistance -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Insulin resistance denotes decreased sensitivity of target ((biology) the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms; cells may exist as independent units of life (as in monads) or may form colonies or tissues as in higher plants and animals) cells (muscle, fat cells) to insulin.
		In order to compensate for the insulin (A solution obtained by steeping or soaking a substance (usually in water)) infusion, (A monosaccharide sugar that has several forms; an important source of physiological energy) glucose 20% is infused to maintain blood sugar levels between 5 and 5.5 mmol/l.
		The concept that insulin resistance may be the underlying cause of (Diabetes caused by a relative or absolute deficiency of insulin and characterized by polyuria) diabetes mellitus type 2 was first advanced by Sir (additional info and facts about Harold Percival Himsworth) Harold Percival Himsworth in 1936.

	Insulin Sensitivity Decreases with Obesity, and Lean Cats with Low Insulin Sensitivity Are At Greatest Risk of Glucose ...
		The measurements of insulin sensitivity based on computer modeling of insulin concentrations and glucose disappearance from the plasma indicated that, after weight gain, cats had altered distribution and binding kinetics of insulin and decreased receptor binding and post-receptor activation of intracellular effects.
		The authors concluded that insulin resistance and glucose intolerance occurs in obese cats and that lean cats with low insulin sensitivity are at increased risk for developing glucose intolerance when obese.
		Male cats have been shown to have an increased risk for diabetes mellitus, and possible explanations include an increased incidence of obesity and the lower insulin sensitivity in male cats that was suggested by this study.

	Clinical Trial: Effects of Dark Chocolate on Insulin Sensitivity in People with High Blood Pressure
		Blood glucose and insulin levels are measured frequently during the test and the rate of the glucose infusion is adjusted to keep blood glucose at the baseline (fasting) level.
		Blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and insulin-mediated capillary recruitment will be assessed in each subject after the run-in period, after 15 days of treatment, and after completion of the cross-over.
		Insulin sensitivity will be measured using the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic glucose clamp technique.

		Insulin is found in even single-celled organisms and has been around for several billion years.

	Clinical Trial: Methods for Measuring Insulin Sensitivity
		We hypothesize that the majority of the information needed to accurately estimate insulin sensitivity is contained in the fasting insulin and glucose levels as well as the insulin and glucose levels obtained shortly after an intravenous glucose load.
		Data from these studies will be used obtain estimates of insulin sensitivity by the glucose clamp method, minimal model method, and a novel analysis that utilizes only fasting and peak levels of glucose and insulin.
		We hope to devise a simpler method for determining insulin sensitivity in vivo that is suitable for testing large populations.

		Insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion are mutually related such that insulin resistance is compensated by increased insulin secretion.
		Mathematical analyses of the relation between insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion have revealed a hyperbolic function, such that the product of the two variables is constant.
		Using these techniques the compensation of beta cell function to insulin resistance has been verified in obesity, in pregnancy and after glucocorticoid administration as has the defective beta cell function as the underlying cause to impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes.

		Excess body weight can decrease the body's response (or sensitivity) to insulin, a condition known as insulin resistance, which can be associated with the development of several health problems.
		At the beginning of the study and 1 year later, the children's insulin sensitivity levels were measured and height and weight measurements were taken.
		The overweight children who gained weight over the 1-year study period had decreases in their body's sensitivity to insulin (normal-weight children who gained weight did not have decreases in insulin sensitivity).

	Mathematical Modeling of Insulin Action and in Vivo Estimates of Insulin Sensitivity by Michael J. Quon
		Diabetes, obesity, and hypertension are major inter-related public health problems that are all characterized, in part, by insulin resistance (decreased sensitivity or responsiveness to metabolic actions of insulin).
		A well-accepted alternative for estimating insulin sensitivity in vivo is to analyze insulin and glucose data from a frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test (FSIVGTT) using Bergman*s minimal model of glucose metabolism.
		We conclude that QUICKI is a simple, accurate, and reliable insulin sensitivity index obtained from a single fasting blood sample that may be useful for clinical research and epidemiological studies related to diabetes and other insulin resistant states.

	Sensitin: Insulin Sensitivity
		Your pancreas secretes insulin, a hormone responsible for your cells' ability to uptake, store, and use glucose for energy.
		Without insulin, glucose (the energy your body converts from food), cannot get inside your cells where it is used for energy or stored for energy use later on.
		That's why it's important for you to understand how insulin works in your body and what you can do to be sure you have the right levels of insulin.

	Reversing diabetes means making tough choices in foods, nutrition and exercise
		The other problem is that type 2 diabetics have decreased insulin sensitivity in the cells of their body.
		That means that even though insulin is being produced and circulating through the bloodstream, the cells in the body aren't responding to it.
		That's why reduced insulin sensitivity is a physiological marker that indicates a person is about to become diabetic.
