title: [Insulinemia and its evolution over time in obesity].
abstract: There is a steady-state metabolism of adipose tissue ("adipose state") with a "metabolic signal" significance. It consists of: seric levels of glucose, insulin, free fatty acids. We studied 45 cases with uncomplicated obesity and we correlated seric level of insulin, basal and reactive, with DAM (mean adipocyte diameter), insulin receptor activity and obesity evolution length (age of obesity). Level of insulin has high influence on insulin receptor function (p < 0.01). Reactive insulin level are higher with obesity age (p < 0.0001). Hyperinsulinemia is a constant, continuous and early reference point of obesity.
