Correlation of a [13C]glucose breath test with surrogate markers of insulin resistance in urban and rural Asian Indians.
Metab Syndr Relat Disord. 2009; (3): 215-9
High rates of insulin resistance (IR), which contribute to a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), have been noted in Asian Indians. Rapid, effective measures of IR could identify individuals at risk for CVD in this population. A [(13)C]glucose breath test has been shown to correlate significantly with invasive measures of IR in a Caucasian cohort. We hypothesized that the breath test would correlate significantly with surrogate measures of IR in Asian Indians.
