Although significant linkages were identified at the FABP2 locus with fasting insulin concentration (p = 0.0004) and with glucose uptake (p = 0.0008) in the Pima Indians [ 5], the differences regarding the A54T polymorphism with fasting insulin concentrations (p < 0.04) and glucose uptake (p < 0.04) were only marginally significant in the same population [ 9].
Study 1: Effects of adrenalectomy on hypothalamic responses to fasting
His fasting cholesterol is 228 mg/dl (to convert milligrams per deciliter of cholesterol [total, HDL or LDL] to micromoles per liter, divide by 39), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is 166 mg/dl, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is 32 mg/dl, triglycerides (TG) are 223 mg/dl (to convert mg/dl of triglycerides to mmol/l, divide by 89), and fasting glucose is 114 mg/dl (to convert mg/dl of glucose to mmol/l, divide by 18).
For instance a BMI ≥ 85 thpercentile (for age and sex) was classified as being overweight, and those with a BMI ≥ 95 thpercentile as obese [ 29 30 31 32 ] . Recent workshops concluded that the BMI is an index of choice for evaluating obesity in adolescents, because it has been validated by studies of total body fat [ 32 ] . The criteria used to identify overweight and obesity in children and adolescents agree with those used for grade 1 and grade 2 overweight (BMI of 25+ and 30+, respectively) in adults [ 33 ] . Using a representative sample from the general North American Caucasian population, we demonstrate that the BMI is also a good indicator for obesity in adolescents, however the readily-measured WC:AC, CPR, and STR, indices of central obesity, and SUM, a single measure of subcutaneous adiposity, are stronger predictor of both fasting glucose and insulin levels and lipid profiles, than BMI.
Only those subjects with a fasting plasma glucose level less than 6.1 mM, interval plasma glucose levels (at 30, 60, and 90 minutes) less than 11.
