  2. Disposition index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposition_index

    Thus a lowering of disposition index predicts the conversion of insulin resistance to diabetes mellitus type 2. [13] Disposition index, but not insulin resistance, can predict type 2 diabetes in persons with normal blood glucose levels, but who do not have a family history ( genetic predisposition ) to type 2 diabetes.

  3. Homeostatic model assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostatic_model_assessment

    IR is insulin resistance and %β is the β-cell function (more precisely, an index for glucose tolerance, i.e. a measure for the ability to counteract the glucose load). Insulin is given in μU/mL. [7] Glucose and insulin are both during fasting. [2] This model correlated well with estimates using the euglycemic clamp method (r = 0.88). [2]

  4. Insulin resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_resistance

    In states of insulin resistance, beta cells in the pancreas increase their production of insulin. This causes high blood insulin (hyperinsulinemia) to compensate for the high blood glucose. During this compensated phase of insulin resistance, beta cell function is upregulated, insulin levels are higher, and blood glucose levels are still ...

    This occurs due to insulin spillover (from excessive production due to obesity or insulin resistance) into the skin which results in abnormal growth being observed. The most common cause would be insulin resistance, usually from type 2 diabetes mellitus. ACE inhibitor Angiotensin conversion enzyme. A class of drugs used to decrease hypertension ...

  7. Pancreatic beta cell function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_beta_cell_function

    Pancreatic beta cell function (synonyms G β or, if calculated from fasting concentrations of insulin and glucose, HOMA-Beta or SPINA-GBeta) is one of the preconditions of euglycaemia, i.e. normal blood sugar regulation. It is defined as insulin secretory capacity, i.e. the maximum amount of insulin to be produced by beta cells in a given unit ...

  8. Adrenergic blocking agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_blocking_agent

    The combination of beta blockers and antihypertensive drugs will work on different mechanism to lower blood pressure. [17] For example, the co-administration of beta-1 blocker atenolol and ACE inhibitor lisinopril could produce a 50% larger reduction in blood pressure than using either drug alone. [18]
