[Blood insulin values after the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and the body composition in 30 obese children].
The body composition and plasma insulin after OGTT were evaluated in 30 obese children, aged 6 to 14 years. The obese children higher serum insulin after OGTT. There was a relationship between plasma insulin and Body Mass Index (MBI) and between plasma insulin and Weight For Height (WFH) (p < 0.001). There is the accumulating evidence that chronic day-long hyperinsulinemia is associated with an insulin-resistance syndrome characterized by the development of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis and non insulin depend diabetes.
