Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of the TyG index as a measure of insulin sensitivity compared to the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp.
  • Evaluation of the TyG index for insulin sensitivity measurement.
  • Comparison with the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp method.
  • The TyG index shows high sensitivity and specificity in identifying decreased insulin sensitivity.

Abstract

The TyG index has high sensitivity and specificity, suggesting that it could be useful for identification of subjects with decreased insulin sensitivity.
