Basal IR indexes may suffice for inflammation studies; leaves open validation in longitudinal cohorts before clinical adoption.
Is an Inflammation Score associated with surrogate indexes of insulin resistance?
An Inflammation Score correlates well with basal surrogate indexes of insulin resistance, suggesting fasting measures are adequate for evaluating IR-associated inflammatory activity.
Recasens et al. (2005) studied this question.
